Kurang ajar

"Kurang ajar", which translates into a highly derogatory equivalent of "ill educated and ill mannered", infuriating many Malaysians at the time.
Truth spoken, I’m neither a fan to Works Minister S Samy Vellu nor Penang Chief Minister Koh Tsu Koon, however I believe that’s way too harsh for them to be openly branded as "kurang ajar" by a small time opportunist to gain political mileage.
The uncalled derogatory remark not only fail to imply the good relationship and bilateral understanding between Barisan Nasional component parties, however to a certain extent, deepen the already worse ethnocentrism mentality among Malaysians.
So, in this case, who is showing the best examplary of "kurang ajar"? The fact is, it’s like a pot calling a kettle black.

I managed to catch our CM but wasn’t aware of this. I saw the CM’s face one kind-one kind and I was wondering why his normal smiling face looked so disturbed. *haih*……
