A recording started making the rounds, featuring the Archbishop of Kuala Lumpur, Julian Leow Beng Kim (pic), giving a speech at an undetermined event. This recording was then uploaded to the Internet by a group that claimed that in that recording, Leow said he wanted to do something like “boil the Muslims slowly like frogs”. This has become yet another major facepalm moment for Malaysia. Dutiful columnist that I am, I took the time to listen to the whole recording. What the Archbishop was actually talking about was a sentiment that minority rights were slowly being eroded in Malaysia. He gave the following analogy: If a frog is thrown into boiling water, it will surely notice immediately. If it is put in water that is boiled very, very slowly, the frog may not notice as much.
