Wee chose to forgive, easy like a boy who wee-wee

No police report will be lodged against the person who has been accused of shoving his fist into the face of Deputy Education Minister Wee Ka Siong at a rally in Kajang yesterday. Wee's unexpected visit to the rally, organised by Chinese education group Dong Zong to protest the shortage of Chinese-educated teachers for Chinese schools, caused a commotion and a scuffle reportedly broke out between a middle-aged man and Wee's police escort, when the man tried to approach Wee upon his arrival at the New Era College in Kajang.

Wee told reporters at the Parliament lobby today that he has "forgiven" the person who tried to punch him.

Responding to demands from Pakatan Rakyat MPs that he lodges a police report on the alleged attack, Wee said, aid, "I've chosen to forgive them... I was prepared for the worst. It took guts to go and listen to their voices, that's all."

However, DAP's Cheras MP Tan Kok Wai categorically denied the allegation made in several news reports that cited Wee as saying that the person who punched him was an opposition supporter (some reported that the person was a DAP member), saying it was a "presumptuous" claim.

Wee said. "I've already said yesterday... I don't want to politicise it. If I wanted to politicise it I could have had another round of police reports and press conferences. I don't even want to talk abut it."

Fine, fine. Wee doesn't want to politicise and has chosen to forgive but he's still not solving the problem faced by Chinese schools.

If Wee quits, he will never get to solve the problem. If Wee stays, he can never ever solve the problem.

Poor Wee. Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.
