"Kepala Bapak Kau!"



I remember a scene from P Ramlee's 'Labu Labi' when P Ramlee (Labi) and M Zain (Labu) were quarreling over the same woman, and that led them to an argument.

"Labi! Ini kepala bapak kau, ini pulak kepala bapak aku. Kalau kau anak jantan, kau pijaklah kepala bapak aku...," Labu said.

This 'kepala bapak' issue is not new. Stamping on leaders photo, tearing and burning pro-government newspapers and the national flag have been perceived as insolent and fanatic but I personally believe it has more to do with politics of extremism.

In fact, the Western community is so used to such a value.

What took place at Dataran Merdeka on the eve of Merdeka celebration was not uncommon or new. It has taken place few years ago in Terengganu, Kelantan and Penang when some extremist groups linked to political parties tore and torched the Jalur Gemilang.

An Opposition party too is so fond of burning Utusan Malaysia and Berita Harian in Kelantan while in Penang, DAP-led government has imposed a ban on Utusan and New Straits Times.

These people just do no believe in consultation. Instead, they vent their anger on pro-government publications and organisations.

Penang CM Lim Guan Eng used to stamp on photos of BN leaders and some BN fanatics too did the same thing. The only different is the degree of their fanaticism.

Well, 'Labu Labi' is just a comedy. In politics, everybody will jump in fury if the other party did such things on their interest.

Whatever it is, it takes two to tango, right?
