Most of us know the story of the boy who cried 'wolf '. No need to repeat here, but the lesson is that when one keeps on telling lies, one day, even if he tells the truth, no one will believe him.
So it is with our minister and police. Various groups, especially those from umno had played the race card and yet the authorities had not taken any action except for a slap on the wrist. "Stern action will be taken" and "we will not tolerate those out to create trouble" are the standard wolf cries. Even the PM's instruction to take immediate action following the cow head incidence had been ignored. No one, especially the umno followers are taking all these warnings seriously. If only Ahmad Ismail had been dealt with the way they dealt with Theresa Kok, if only Utusan Melayu and B.Harian had been dealt with as they did with the Sin Chew reporter, there wont be any need to talk about restoring bridges and tearing down the walls as mentioned by the PM in his Merdeka Day message. All that is needed is to make an example of one umno race bigot.
