Malaysia's Government finally Apologies

With the 12th General Election being rumored being around the corner, the ruling government is trying hard to please the general public hoping to win some votes in return. However, since the last 4 months, government officers have been offending the general public and made national headlines on all major dailies. Among the mistake done was the demolition of Maha Mariamman Temple in Padang Jawa, a Hindu temple in Klang which was build more than a 100 years ago. To make matters worse, the temple was demolish on the eve of Deepavali last year. The action taken by the officers spark national uproar, especially the Indian Community, leading to several street protest in the heart of Kuala Lumpur organised by BERSIH. At that time, not only did the ruling government fail to admit the mistake but condemn the street protest.

As the General Election heat gets hotter, the top gun of the Barisan National tries to calm down the public and win vote by stepping out and apologies for the mistake on the 4th of Feb 2008 as quoted by Bernama. I wonder what will happen if the national mosque was demolish by other community and then apologies for the mistake?
