UMNO - Remove the plank from your eyes first before you go after Mat Sabu

Amazing, really amazing! Like hungry vultures swooping down on Mat Sabu for his statement on the Kepong incident. One by one, the umno ministers have attacked Mat Sabu, and the latest to join in the fray were the Home Minister, and ,not to be left out, the man himself, MM. Now Mahathir is saying that PAS idolises the communists, but then a few months back, it was the Socialist Party of Malaysia. So to borrow a phrase from YB Lim Guan Eng, make up your mind. Who is supporting/idiolising the communists, PAS or SPM?  
Then we have the Home Minster accusing Mat Sabu of provocating, but "its clearly not working". Not working? How many ministers, including the past and present PM have shot their venoms at Mat Sabu, and by now there should have been more than 50 police reports made against him. "clearly not working?"

Next we have Utusan accusing Mat Sabtu of wanting to rewrite history. Well, that has not been done yet. But what has already been done is the story of Hang Tuah and his gang. I studied it in my history in the 60s, but now my grandchildren dont know who these people are. Now who is rewriting history. Look at the plank in front of your eyes first lah, before you try to see the speck in someone's
I do not dispute the fact that those who fought against the communist at B.Kepong are national heroes, and they "must be given due credit by all quarters for their courage and sacrifice", so said Karpal Singh. But what I do dispute is the speed and velocity of attack, even before the facts are verified.  
Compare Mat Sabu's statement with the following,
- Najib rang warning bells when he threatened “crushed bodies”, “lost lives” and “ethnic cleansing” at an UMNO assembly.
- Perkasa would hold a demonstration to counter the planned Bersih 2.0 street rally on July 9, had called on the Chinese 
  to stock up on food.
 Now you tell me, which is more omnimous? but where are the voices of condemnation? Yes, J. Khairy has publicly condemned Ibrahim for his seditious statement and has urged that "Action should be taken against him as his statement is a clear threat,"
So has any action been taken? And now the IGP is going to haul up Mat Sabu to question him on his statement. But Mat Sabu had denied all the allegations, saying that Utusan had fabricated "the quote" and that he would be suing the papers. I hope he does, and sue the police as well, for putting him through all the inconveniences.
