Deputy IGP - Have you forgotten what Nazri said?

The Deputy IGP had warned that affirmative action would be taken against those who talk of seditious issues. His warning was in reference to a speech by PKR Youth chief, Shamsul Iskandar.
As surely as Tuhan is your witness, compare the racial rhetorics of Ibrahim Ali and the speech of Shamsul and determine which is more deadly.
Next, consider Nazri's statement that the govt. had been forced to relax its control over an individual's right to free speech. He further stated that the landscape had changed and sensitive matters are being discussed in the open. So what are you barking about? or has the landscape suddenly changed back again?
According to Nazri, Ibrahim Ali's statement had not caused any riot, even after many days, as people are no longer as sensitive as before. So no action is necessary.
So as a policeman, please be consistent with upholding the law fairly. Shamsul's speech had not caused any riot or uprising. So as you have left IA alone, leave Shamsul alone too.
Finally if you want to take affirmative action against those who talk of seditious issues, don't forget that Ibrahim Ali should be first in the queue, that is if you honour the badge you are wearing.
