DISTASTEFUL of Lumut MP to criticise national mourning for MH17?

It is a shame that PKR Lumut Member of Parliament chooses to use the recent national mourning ceremony for the victims of MH17 as a point to draw the sword upon on the government. It adds to yet another uncalled for kink on the armor of the opposition that is still reeling in agony over the Menteri Besar debacle.

The world mourned for the victims on board MH17. So did the Netherlands who accorded a national honor for the dead.

In Malaysia, businesses and the public services came together to demonstrate their united stand as the nation received the remains of the victims on our soil. Indeed, we have in doing so sent a stong message to the world of terror that Malaysia like all like-minded nations will never take this tragedy lightly until justice is measured out to the perpetrators of war.

Now for the Lumut MP to gripe over the national effort for the victims of MH17 and demand explanations why the same was not seen for the Lahad Datu soldiers who died on the line of duty, really stinks.

Compassion

As the Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Ahmad Maslan rightly pointed out the government is justified in what it did with compassion, responsibility and sensibility. And the various ministries and their leaders who worked right through the long nights and days to see to the final journey of the remains of the MH17 victims deserve recognition, not gripping negativity.

And on that same note, it is hoped the government will also do justice to the killing of the innocent and helpless lone lady Altantuya. It is indeed taking too far a twisted and delayed effort to dispense justice and brink the crooks to book. - MAILBAG
