The Hypocrisy of UMNO

Hipocrisy No. 1:
In an attempt to justify the introduction of  online sedition laws. Home Minister Hishamuddin said
 “No one should use the excuse of democracy and freedom of expression when putting forward their opinions without considering the interests of others in this multiracial country. Freedom of expression in the true sense involves limits that should be respected. Otherwise, the law will have to step in to protect the rakyat (citizenry),”
It is amazing how his brains can be so numbed that he cannot see that he already has someone right in front of his doorsteps who is spewing venom without "considering the interest of others in this multiracial country." Utusan Melayu and its writers, Awang takselamat and the chelup Tee guy practically dont know the meaning of freedom of expression as defined by Hishamuddin.
Hipocrisy No. 2:
Disgraced former Selangor mentri besar Khir Toyo has come out with gun blazing (as a last ditch) to  show the umno leaders that he is still loyal to umno. He has accused Mentri Besar Khalid Ibrahim of not “walking the talk”, referring to Khalid’s announcement that the Selangor government would only grant RM1 million in state allocations to Pakatan assemblymen.

However he failed to mention that the BN federal government is punishing the opposition Members of Parliament by refusing to grant them any funds to improve or repair their constituencies. Khalid and his administration had even approached the BN and offered to grant their state assemblymen allocations if the BN reciprocated at the federal level.
Then he has the cheek to say that  since Pakatan Rakyat is fighting at the federal level asking for allocations to be given to PR MPs and  if Pakatan feels that it is unfair, they should start first. Can you imagine that? Stupidity is not enough and he has added arrogance to his ressume, and that is the type of person we have as a chief minister.
