Penang Island and the burning of CM's effigy

Was very disturbed when I heard the TV1 propaganda this morning on the above. Not only was the analysis leading to the demonstration one sided, it is pure racism at its worst, disguised as 'analysis'.

This blogger, as an individual, seems to tower over our well-paid newsmen. I hope these facts gets disseminated to as many people as possible because our government controlled media will not touch facts, only stories spun by our government's spinners.

This is what the blogger wrote:

"The protesters provided no statistics to back their claim of discrimination by the state government against Malays in the state of Penang. Instead it was MPPP who provided the statistics that showed no racial discrimination took place when they acted against illegal hawkers.


2008 - MPPP took action against 2,063 illegal hawkers for non-compliance of the law. Malays - 785 cases (38%), Chinese - 1,082 cases (52%), and Indians - 196 cases (10%).

2009 - MPPP took action against 2,789 illegal hawkers for non-compliance of the law. Malays - 815 cases (29%), Chinese - 1,727 cases (62%), and Indians - 247 cases (9%).

Where is the discrimination except against those who refuse to comply with the law irrespective of race?"
