Double standards at work

Someone must correct this government attitude.

First it was minister in the pm’s dept Nazri that said India, especially Tamil Nadu CM Karunanidhi, should keep out from commenting on Malaysian matters.

Today foreign minister Syed Hamid Albar says the same, saying that "other nations should respect the sovereignty of the country".

These ministers must have short-term memory loss. Or they are just pretending to suffer from one.

What about the time our ministers were making noise, and even sending a ministerial envoy, to Thailand to convey our concern over the plight of the Southern Thai muslims?

Or how about when someone from Umno Youth protested over the atrocities against the Palestinian muslims?

So it is okay for us to butt in other nation’s matter but when it comes for others to show concern, we get all worked up?

One thing is clear. Double-standards are not just practised internally. It also applies to the external relations.
