Sebagaimana "samseng", perkataan "gampang" juga ada berbagai makna, mengikut konteks penggunaan. Dr.Mahathir cuba memerangkap Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz dengan perkataan "samseng" yang Dr.Mahathir sendiri tidak faham kerana Dr.Mahathir sangat jahil dalam ilmu Al-Quran.

Dalam hal "gampang" Dr.Mahathir juga boleh dihukum kerana ia boleh bermakna "anak haram". Satu lagi makna gampang ialah "mudah/remeh/kecil".

Diharap Dr.Mahathir cepat bertaubat dan berhenti dari mencipta masalah baharu untuk menutup kejahatan dan kezalimannya.

Dr Mahathir: Jakarta is not involved

- New Straits Times

by Noor Adzman Baharuddin and Marina Emmanuel

PENANG, Aug 27: Malaysia will not seek an explanation from the Indonesian Government or send a strong protest over the burning of a replica of the Jalur Gemilang by a small group of radical Indonesian nationalists, Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today.

Describing the incident as gampang (easy way out), the Prime Minister said it did not reflect the Indonesian Government's stand.

"The Indonesian population is more than 200 million and there is bound to be a small number of irresponsible people among them.

"We cannot respond to the action (of burning the Malaysian flag) since it is not reflective of the Indonesian Government's stand.

"It was not done by the Indonesian Government but by an extremist group.

"We view the action as gampang and will not protest or seek an explanation," he said after attending a luncheon to honour eight pioneer multinational companies and 12 small and medium-scale industries.

The Indonesians who burnt the replica of the Jalur Gemilang in Jakarta yesterday had claimed that Malaysia meted out harsh punishments to illegal immigrants from the republic.

The Indonesians were members of a group named after the republic's flag, Sang Saka Merah Putih.

Asked for his advice stand," he said after receiving five US congressional staffers at his office.

He said while some Indonesians were angered by the Malaysian Government's decision to jail and whip illegal immigrants, they should not forget that there were still many Indonesians earning a living here and sending money home.

The law, he said, was meant to stem the inflow of illegal immigrants, and the punishment applied to those from other countries as well.

Following the flag-burning incident, Syed Hamid yesterday advised Malaysians to put off any visit to Indonesia.

He said Malaysia would ask Indonesia to explain the incident through diplomatic channels.

"Let me make this clear. We are not saying Malaysians are banned from going to Indonesia, but go there only if you have important things to do.

"I think in this kind of situation, there will be people taking the law into their own hands.

"They have to think about Indonesians working here as well," he said.
