Evil within
Chan Hon Keong 29 was found guilty by the Sessions Court of knowingly creating and sending the offensive remark against the Sultan of Perak on Feb. 13, 2009 on the net.
The question remain WHY NO ACTION WERE TAKEN AGAINST THE RAKYAT WHO PROTESTED AGAINST THE INJUSTICE ACTION OF SULTAN OF PERAK.
Is this because the Sultan Of Perak really cares for material gains only?
Or is it because the Rakyat consists of many races? So why not take a Chinaman and teach the Chinese a lesson so that the other races will back down.
But the Sultan of Perak forgot his past action where he signed the right of the Sultans away just so that his own son can be the Regent of Perak and even got bonus of material gain from Mahathir Kutty.
