IT doesn’t give me any pleasure to point out the blunders made by Barisan Nasional members. But as a responsible rakyat, I am duty-bound to give a little input, if I may.

Bukit Bendera Umno division chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail appears to be someone who needs help. He has sought attention the wrong way.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi once said: “ I do not want our country to be destroyed. I do not want the country in disarray. This is the action of an irresponsible few.”

Ahmad falls into this category of “irresponsible few”.

Umno deputy president Datuk Seri Najib Razak apologised, saying the comment made by Ahmad was unwarranted and regrettable.

MCA vice-president Datuk Ong Tee Keat welcomed Najib’s move and called it a sincere gesture.

So, let’s accept this sincere gesture and move on.
