When an explanation becomes an excuse By Mariam Mokhtar

Yellow Tongued From Too Much Licking

Malaysiakini : COMMENT | Selayang MP William Leong argues that non-Malay frustration with the government is understandable, but ultimately misplaced, and that voters should not allow disappointment to turn into disengagement.

He is entitled to his opinion, but his argument is incomplete.Leong explains why people are frustrated, but not why they remain frustrated. Like many political arguments these days, there are plenty of explanations and very few results. There is a difference between an explanation and an excuse, or spin.

An explanation tells you why the car broke down. An excuse tells you why it is still sitting on the driveway three years later, still unfixed.

And that is where many Malaysians find themselves today. Not short of explanations, but short of results.

Sampehpagi : Spot on Mariam, William Leong has lost his soul, excuses upon excuses, then scary green ghosts stories. We’ve had enough of such politicians.

apanama is back : Conclusion is PKR 'gulung'. Need to be 'gulung.' No if and but. Look at how Leong struggle to spin in his 'MP Speaks'. His write-up seems even worse than some of the useless troopers here who try to spin comments by trolling.

Yes, cost of living is stubbornly high since Madani admitted he can't help everyone but he can go around the world and his EC can schedule two states election on different dates.
