Keris

One stop waving his keris and now safely keeping the keris where it belongs..

Finally, Hishamuddin Apologizes For His Keris Waving

The Malaysian Insider

KUALA LUMPUR, April 25 — It’s over. The single act which alienated many Malaysians and was responsible for driving many Chinese and Indians into the clutches of the Opposition will not be repeated. Umno Youth chief Datuk Hishammuddin Hussein today cut his losses and apologised for the keris waving act which he introduced as an opening gambit at the Umno assembly three years ago.
His colleagues in the Barisan Nasional Youth were surprised when he broached the subject of the keris during their closed-door meeting. He said that it was time he offered Malaysians an apology over the act which was criticised as a saber-rattling and threatening gesture towards non-Malays.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to move on politically, he said. Officially, he will have to get the support of the Umno Youth exco before canning the keris act but in reality that is just a formality for a politician who commands a strong grip on the wing.

While the other one is coming out with "all keris(es) blazing"...

KOTA BHARU 25 April – Ketua UMNO Bahagian Gua Musang, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah akan tetap menawar kan diri untuk bertanding jawatan Presiden Umno pada pemilihan parti pada Disember walaupun berlaku perali han kuasa.
Beliau berkata, peralihan kuasa di antara Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi dan Timba lan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak tidak ada kena mengena dengan parti dan beliau mempunyai hak untuk bertanding sekiranya mendapat pencalonan yang mencukupi.
“Soal UMNO bukan kerajaan, saya cuma menawar diri kalau cukup pencalonan daripada bahagian untuk UMNO, tidak ada kena mengena dengan kerajaan..".

What’s next?
