So i think we could judge our selves who the real culprit is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the sale of beer, yes, indeed Dr. Hasan said that beer should be sold in Muslim areas only. But the law also says that those granted license to sell beer can set up shop anywhere. It the retailer is silly enough to sell something that the majority of the people does not consume its also his right. Let me pose this question, if you sell beef would you do it in a Hindu neighbourhood knowing full well Hindus can consume beef? Logic would say no but why do we need to regulate even that. If someone sell beer to Muslim, then prosecute that person under the law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another matter is the beer was confiscated illegally and officers never checked their status and this was also confirmed by the Mayor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another interesting question is what defines a Muslim majority area, is it 51%, 60% or 90%? Can Dr. Hasan answer that? What about the rights of non-Muslim? Had Dr. Hasan thought about that? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The point is Dr. Hasan had a chance to offer a more amicable and logical solution but he choses to sensationalize the issue. That we can&amp;#39;t blame it all on UMNO as he himself aspires to be and UMNO MB, just as Tn. Hadi aspires to be and UMNO Deputy P.M.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just a reminder, his despicable cruade still continues to this day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On another matter, thanks Y.B. Khalid for showing us all that you are an MP for all.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1628225241183163294/1650334214839988771/comments/default/1085295944512166832'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1628225241183163294/1650334214839988771/comments/default/1085295944512166832'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.khalidsamad.com/2009/11/media-biased.html?showComment=1258463378332#c1085295944512166832' title=''/><author><name>Rakyat Malaysia</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.khalidsamad.com/2009/11/media-biased.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628225241183163294.post-1650334214839988771' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1628225241183163294/posts/default/1650334214839988771' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628225241183163294.post-1940022794842561647</id><published>2009-11-17T09:02:51.328+08:00</published><updated>2009-11-17T09:02:51.328+08:00</updated><title type='text'>I agreed that Dr Hassan Ali had poorly managed the...</title><content type='html'>I agreed that Dr Hassan Ali had poorly managed the beer issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some pint to ponder.UMNO create a brouhaha about the beer issue.Muslims and non muslims alike negatively reacted to the issue albeit albeit in different way.UMNO win the war hands down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My questions are we know that UMNO is big liar,why did we believe everything it throw on us without double checking or at least try to undestand it? Second Hassan Ali never tried imposing the alcohol  to non muslims? So why reac tin such way? Third why did DAP Ronnie Liu react in such manner by ordering the enforcement officers to return back the consfiscated beer?
