Umno/BN culture - You must be grateful for what we give you.

The quality of the umno leaders is really getting from bad to worse. The right hand really does not know what the left hand is doing. They have no qualms when they criticise the oppositions, but when it is the other way round,  they cry like babies. Take for the instance the case of the Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Noh Omar. He said the opposition's action of linking him to the production of a video clip that insulted hudud law was evil, to destroy his credibility as a leader in Selangor.

He further added that the wild accusation was a conspiracy by the opposition to link him to sensitive issues and that "They (opposition) have no more issues, so they resort to making personal attacks against (Barisan Nasional) leaders, especially me in Selangor, to tarnish my credibility so that the people will lose trust in my leadership."

Aren't those exactly the kind of accusations and statements the umnos have been using against the Oppositions? 

Then we have the Minister who not only turned his back on a Chief Minister but also became a coward for not going on the submarine dive. The perception he has given to the public is that he doesn't even trust his own submarine to surface again. Hence he chickened out.

With one breath, he said "the various aids given out were merely to carry out the government's responsibility to assist the poor besides appreciating their contributions towards the government and to fulfill the promise, 'people first', pledged by the present administration."

In the next breath, he "expressed disappointment with the attitude of the opposition leaders who called on their supporters to accept whatever aid dished out by the government but did not teach them to be grateful for the assistance"

I suppose he can be excused for not realisng his contradictory statements due to his poor standard of the English language.

First he said the aid given out was the government's responsibility, and "we give out regardless of the (recipients') party, " Very true, as what is given out is from our hard earned money, and why should we be grateful for that?,  and why should we vote umno/bn into power again, especially after the exposure of tons of evidences of corruption (Toyol mansion), misuse of funds (Cowgate scandal), injustice (TBH), police brutality (Bersih 2 protest), and many, many more,  Truly, the bn/umno culture of forced gratitude is an issue which all Malaysians should be wary of.

Not only has umno taken the lead, MCA has also followed this trend. The Negri Sembilan MCA chief, Dr. Yeow Chai Thiam has also brought shame not only to the Chinese culture but also the medical profession. He chastised MP Teo Nie Ching for being late in showing  gratitude to the MCA for helping her critically ill mother. So it has now come down to this. If you receive anything from bn/umno, you better find ways and means to show your gratitude.
