Why the pussyfooting, Rafizi?

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 07:51 AM PST

Rafizi ... If  AG is found to be clean,
Shafee must apologize. Howzat?
Rafizi Ramli says he is not stupid but after his latest antics on the alleged wrongdoing of the Attorney General, I'm not taking his word for it.  
Yesterday, the PKR strategic director bragged about turning over Gani Patail, the AG, to the ICAC as if the Hong Kong graft busters come under his boss Anwar Ibrahim's personal ambit. But today, after the AG told Rafizi he may look at his accounts in HK or anywhere in the world, Rafizi is suddenly not so gung-ho.  
I suspect Rafizi has just found out that Gani may actually not have any foreign bank account, unlike some people do. It could also have something to do with the AG's promise to take legal action against those accusing him of treason, ie deliberately losing Pulau Batu Putih to Singapore at the ICJ in 2007 in exchange for money. 
Either way, it is clear that Rafizi, despite his bravado, isn't ready not to face the music if in the end there's no wrong-doing on the part of the AG.  
Read the article by fz.com (the same one in which Rafizi declares "I am not stupid" and "I don't want to be used as a pawn to clear [Gani's] name' -- Rafizi IS preparing to pass the buck to Shafee Abdullah or/and Mat Zain already!
Shafee: Me apologize to AG? Howzat again?
Rafizi also said that if after the scrutiny, there was no misconduct found, lawyer Tan Sri Shafee Abdullah will have to apologise over his comments.
Mat Zain in his statutory declaration claimed Abdul Gani had deliberately lost Malaysia's attempt to claim Batu Puteh against Singapore in the 2007 case before ICJ.
(Mat Zain) quoted Shafee's statement that money was transferred to Abdul Gani's accounts in Hong Kong to lose the case. Shafee however has denied the statement. 
Someone ought to tell Rafizi ...

AWO, latest victim of Insider's misreporting

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 06:53 AM PST

Updates: It's pleasing to note that on Facebook and Twitter, people are making one another aware of the gross misreporting by The Malaysian Insider. Tai Zee Kin, for one, says TMI should apologize to AWO for the "unforgivable misquote". On blogosphere, ABITW writes No toll hike, but cost saving planned. That's good news, no?

Original posting:

The Sensitive Kind. If you had watched the news last night, you'd know that Abdul Wahid Omar DID NOT say this (as misreported by The Malaysian Insider yesterday):

Full misreporting h e r e
Khairul: Responds to misreporting

Khairul Azwan Harun, the Umno Youth deputy chief, was quick to respond to AWO's so-called insensitive statement. Too quick. And, unfortunately,  too lazy to check his facts. 

Now, what did AWO actually say? The Minister was asked the question yesterday afternoon, after the ETP progam at PICC in Putrajaya, about FUTURE tolled road concessions to be given out, NOT EXISTING tolled roads which are already bound by existing concession agreements. 
On camera: TV3 news clipping h e r e 
Essentially, his response was that:
- new highways (to be constructed) proposed by the private sector must provide motorists with new alternative alignment
- the project promoter is required to conduct study on the willingness of motorists to pay the proposed toll rates, including the scheduled increases to determine its viability
- the toll rates will then be incorporated into the concession agreement
- this is important for the project to be bankable - Source: TV3 Nightline
AWO did comment on existing tolled roads and concession agreements, but that was last Saturday. You can read it h e r e.

p.s. Here's my kind of Sensitive Kind ...
