Congratulations, Nancy – Ravinder Singh



To believe Nancy Shukri is to believe that it is the civil servants who call the shots, who decide how the county is to be run and that ministers are merely the mouthpiece of civil servants.
But this is not believable for people who elect their representatives to run the country and ministers are from the ranks of these representatives in the ruling party.
It is appalling that Nancy is unable to comprehend that when she read out the Attorney-General’s reply on Datuk Ibrahim Ali, she was not acting as a script reader but reaffirming the A-G’s reply and elevating it to the status of the government’s official reply.
If she did not agree with the reply given by the A-G, as she now wants the world to believe, she should not have gone ahead with it.
And if protocol prevented her from discussing it with the A-G, again, as she now claims, to confirm that that was the A-G’s stand, she should have refused to go against her own conscience which, she now tells us, wanted Ibrahim charged and suffer the maximum penalty.
As de facto law minister, she has a duty to see to it that the law is applied to all citizens in the same way without fear or favour.
Since she was not happy with the way the A-G was applying the law to Ibrahim and since, according to her, she was helpless, she had a choice as no one was holding a gun to the head. She should have resigned.
The prime minister and/or the Cabinet would then have had to look into the A-G’s reply.
If the PM or Cabinet had proceeded to give the same reply, then the public would know for sure that it is the government that wants Ibrahim to carry on his racist and extremist activities for reasons best known to themselves.
“Jika hendak seribu daya", yes, where there’s a will, there’s a way.
The will seems to be to let Ibrahim Ali and his ilk carry on their agenda of hurting the sensitivities of the non-Malays and non-Muslims. Hence the leaving of no stone unturned to manufacture excuses such as that they are in defence of Islam, which is protected by Article 11(4) of the constitution.
Congratulations, Nancy.
