how should we feel indeed... what can we do, all the good and intelligent people stay far away from politics, so in the end we will have to do with scum...that's all over the world, not only here!

oh, you mean like Bush? He used to be an alcoholic, once arrested for disorderly conduct in a football game, and for murder, well, he already killed thousands of Iraqi and the America still loves him!

PS The King without a throne (Raja Petra) makes every murder and crime that happened in Malaysia seemed to be the fault of the prime minister. Everything is somehow connected...lol! Get outta the blog and get a life.

Menachem Begin launched terror attack on a hotel in 1948, killing British officers as well as Arabs and Jewish civilians.

On 20 June 1977, he became the Prime Minister of Israel.

If Israel can, why not Malaysia? ;)

In some way, we ALL are ex-convicts or murderers...some call it as origional sin...that is why some ministers or head of state or leaders of their countires are worst than murderers...

hushpuppy

murderer - no way

provided we understand the distinction between murder and manslaughter or any unintentional killing.

i have no problem of convicted traffic offender as PM. you get my idea

Why should you bother about somebody that was convicted by a system that you never believe as just and fair?

As long as he doesn't do it again and regrets it, its fine by me.

As for smart and intelligent people staying away from politics...not exactly entirely true. Its a yes for some and a no for the rest. You can't exactly become a Prime Minister if you are a non Malay or a woman. Some smart politicans gets a kick or put in jail just because they are in the opposition...we just happened to be in the hands of the corrupted.

That guy is not yet a convict
