Whipping boys

I'm getting old and tired. It's my privilege after all. Sometimes, after I read stuffs like this one, I just sigh and say what's new?

Of course the government targets groups that the conservatives and hardliners are against. It's their only way to drum up support and gain votes from the largest population in the country.

Of course, it distracts from the more pressing issue like the 1MDB scandal, GST and other stuffs. It plays on people's fears that their beliefs are fading out in the world, even when that is not the case. It appeals to them, making them think that they are the only bastion of goodness left in a world going bad.

Of course they're going to use this to win the next election. If Trump can do it, then so can Najib. Because birds of a feather really flock together.
