And justice for all?

Two somewhat similar incidents happened recently. Similar but somewhat stark differences in the way they are being handled.
On one end, we have a frustrated headmistress Hj Siti Inshah Mansor who is fed up with the disciplinary problems in her school blurted out remarks which were racist in nature. She told the students concerned to just change school to a private school nearby or just go back to China! And she compared the Indian students wearing certain religious strings on their wrists to dogs on leash! This obviously upset the population at large. To quote, :Pelajar-pelajar Cina tidak diperlukan dan boleh balik ke China ataupun Sekolah Foon Yew. Bagi pelajar India, tali sembahyang yang diikat di pergelangan tangan dan leher pelajar nampak seakan anjing dan hanya anjing akan mengikat seperti itu.
On the other end, upset with turn of events,a fellow Johorean, Namewee who niched a name his youtube his 'Negarakuku' and 'TNB rap' decided to voice his discontentment in his rap song 'Nah! Stop Racism in school'. This song turned out not very palatable to the UMNO politicians in particular due to its foul language and finger pointing (of the middle finger type). (Snippet has been removed, I managed to catch a glimpse!)
Now comes the interesting part - how the authorities are going to handle these two issues. In the first case, the authorities decided to let the educated scholarly officers from Education ministry to conduct an internal inquiry. In the meantime, the principal has apologized. On the second scenario, the Home Minister decided to rope in the bumbling Jacques Clouseau in the making in the form of the Royal Malaysian Police to make a few courtesy calls at Namewee's house.
Hopefully the ending of this drama is as dramatic as the court drama scene in Al Pacino's movie 'And justice for all'! Enjoy!
