We were bloody offended when he threatened us. He apologised, bull! A person who apologises normally shows remorse. He apologises and then qualifies the apology by saying "I would also like to apologise to the Malays over my failure to uphold the Malay symbol (keris)." That is no apology.

He knows when his "goat" is slowly being stewed by his cronies and enemies in UMNO, for the great and humiliating losess on the 8th March 2008. He was a major contributor for the loss, reluctantly he realises that only now. One could say that the Keris is out for him. I would like to say a big thank you for waving the Keris. But when asked if Keris-waving would be discontinued at this year's Umno Youth assembly, Hishammuddin replied, "This is not the forum to discuss that."However, one reporter got the minister red-faced when he asked him how he could contest for Umno vice-presidency (as speculated) if he couldn't defend the Keris in Umno Youth. The visibly upset Hishammuddin turned around to the other Youth leaders to ask them if he had failed and laughed off the matter saying, "It's just a matter of perception."

The education minister had raised the keris during the Unmo Youth assemblies for the past three years, claiming that it symbolised Malay supremacy and Umno's role in defending that. After the youth wing's annual assembly last year, he had also defended his actions, calling the Keris a symbol of strength. Malaysiakini

Well, to him I say why stop waving the Keris, continue doing so. I ain't afraid of you waving the Keris, remember this, now see what happens when you play around with the keris. People like me, we are not the forgiving type, do not bother with your apologies. We will continue using the images of your Keris waving antics, until you become a "has been". The Malaysian Insider spins it as "its over". It ain't over by a long shot, it is only the beginning. We expect him to grovel.
