Two Monkeys apologizing - Take 2!

There is more than meets the eye in the continuing farce involving the two monkeys of Parliament. After The Star initiallly mentioned that the two monkeys apologized to MP Fong Po Kuan and all Malaysian women, later in the day (16 May) they totally edited their original newsitem to remove all reference to an apology to MP Fong. The updated newsitem now contains only quotes that show the two monkeys are apologizing only to Malaysian women. But when contacted by Malaysiakini and Sin Chew, both MPs denied making any apology at all! More on this in Uncle Kit's blog in which he said:

There is still a lot of confusion as to what exactly Mohd Said and Bung Mokhtar have been forced to do and say in conjunction with the Cabinet meeting today, but one thing is clear, there is totally no compunction, contrition or repentance by both of them about their male-chauvinist spree in Parliament last week, which was why they had been defending their actions to the hilt the past one week!

The wayang is not going to end soon. The political heat is on BN from all quarters (mainly the non-Malay media), and if the BN women leaders such as Sharizat and Ng Yen Yen do not finally act like what they're doing now, I guess they understand the repercussion. After all, somebody lost an election not too long ago by insinuating women are inferior to men because they have to squat or seat when urinating. Talk about monkeying around!
