As reported in Malaysia Insider(25/04/08).“It’s over. The single act which alienated many Malaysians and was responsible for driving many Chinese and Indians into the clutches of the Opposition will not be repeated. Umno Youth chief Datuk Hishammuddin Hussein today cut his losses and apologised for the keris waving act which he introduced as an opening gambit at the Umno assembly three years ago.”
This apology was made during the closed-door meeting and he said that is time to he offered Malaysians an apology over this Keris waving act.
At a press conference after the meeting, the Education Minister said that he was sorry if his keris waving action had affected non-Malays. For good measure, he also said sorry to the Malays.
He also apologise for not being able to uphold the Malay symbol.
His friends from MCA, MIC, Gerakan and other component parties of the BN were pleased with Hishammuddin’s apology
His colleagues in the Barisan Nasional Youth were surprised when he broached the subject of the keris during their closed-door meeting.
For Hishammuddin, the apology is a must if he harbours any hope of rising to the top of the political ladder. The man who would carry on the legacy of his grandfather and father – Onn Jaafar and Tun Hussein Onn, both men who were revered for their sense of fairness and belief that Malaysia belonged to all races.
This Keris waving act stunned him when the results of Election 2008 and the swing of the non-Malay vote to Pakatan Rakyat, especially so in Penang.
In the last two years, even his Chinese businessmen friends have been wondering whether he had crossed over to the dark side and become a Malay nationalist.
This apology is the first step by him to try and rehabilitate his image and re-launch his political career.
What about ‘WE’ the Ra’ayat really thinks of Datuk Hishamuddin Hussien Apology
Can we accept his apology done in close door?
Was he sincere?
What about the Ra’ayat that was “HURT” (Domestically & Overseas)?
Can We forgive him?

Khalwat Applicable in this time and age
Khalwat offences in Malaysia are committed when a man and a woman who are not family members, and when at least one of them is a Muslim, are caught in 'close proximity'. The couple could be in a room or in a public park.
'Muslims are sentenced in Syariah courts...but we don't have the jurisdiction to sentence non-Muslims,' Syariah Court of Appeal Judge Asri Abdullah was quoted as saying by The Star daily.
'Their non-Muslim partners can probably be sentenced in the civil courts, to be fair to both parties,' he told reporters at a seminar on reviewing syariah laws organised by Ikim and the judiciary department.
Malaysia is a Multi racial country.. if this is implemented will this not create segegration. Muslim and Non muslim will moving further apart.
people working in offices, shaking hands, congratulation hugs and so forth.
