A fool's mouth is his destruction

Few days ago, Samy Vellu’s press secretary E.Sivabalan used abusive language on malaysiakini journalist Beh Lih Yi when she attempted to approach the minister at the Parliament lobby.

He pointed finger at Lih Yi and said:"She is very rude. F**k that woman!"

This Sivabalan fella has gone too far, who is he to threaten the journalists? I am quite sure he does not know much about defamation or libel (law, I mean). But I can understand why he was so angry. People like him is so used to be flattered (and flattering, of course. One of the great jobs he has done is a book authored by him - Mahathir: Nadi Penggerak Bangsa, published in 1998). Sometimes, these people forgot their identity and started to act like big shot. This Sivabalan is one of those typical minister's famulus who has this kind of mindset.

When he is challenged by someone (Lih Yi in this case), he doesn't know how to handle. Doing nothing makes him feel shame (especially when he couldn't "control" a journalist in front of so many people) . Therefore, he can only resort to violence (spitting vulgar words). Of course, Lih Yi's young age and her gender are part of the reasons why that bugger was so daring.

Anyway, this incident has clearly shown us that one's accomplishment cannot be judged by their shining business suit and glittering leather shoes.

Salute to my brave and pretty comrade, Miss Beh!
