" If you cannot fight rape, better lay down and enjoy it."
If you haven't heard, these are quoted words from the mouth of Kota Kinabalu UMNO pro tem head, Haji Roselan Johar Mohamed.

It disgusts me!
Oh, wasn't he born off a woman?! How 'bout his wife or daughter(s)?! Does he not have any respect or care?!
Roselan did later apologise.
"Please accept my humblest apology. My best intention had been misconstructed and misinterepreted," he said in a statement, as reported.
He later explained that the particular phrase was a proverb he took from Confucius.
Look, we don't give a damn about what-blardy Confucius proverb. Well-intended or ill-intended, he should have known better or perhaps, tried rephrasing it so it meant well.
Okay, so he mentioned his best intention had been misconstructed and misinterpreted. Exactly, what 'best intention', if I shall ask?
I won't deny I haven't heard or read of such tactic in order to save yourself from being murdered later by lunatic rapists con serial killer, one shall boldly pretend and act accordingly in the 'play'. Should Roselan had meant what he said this way, I think he should go for effective communication and presentation courses. Will do him good in his future public speech and presentation.
So many elections going on this year.
Heck, politics. It's a whole lotta covered-up 'mess'. When do you see politicians do a great big deal of good deeds? Especially when the elections are comin' up. Exactly.
What can I say? Be alert! ...and vote wisely.
