AP controversy goes on .....

I have been reading on the AP saga's from many sources, the lame stream local media's thestar , NST and of course from the very site that got me interested in blogging, Screenshots. I would try not to repeat whats already mentioned on other sites on this matter, but for the curious, a collection of the past stories can be seen here, once again thanks to Jeff for the compilations.

Today, our ex-PM once again stirs controversy. He claims Naza's approval for national car status was purely a MITI decission and NOT HIS. After reading this i was quiet surprised, wasnt he the PM then? Whatever happen to accountability of leadership.

It's funny isnt it? Tun has repeatedly said that the government should be fully transparent (since Pak Lah pledged for it) and should not lie to public. In fact i sence some sarcasm (as usual) in the above article, read carefully and you'll note this statement;

“This is especially (important) as we now believe in transparency,” he said.

Is Tun M making fun of Pak Lah's pledge for transparency, what on earth did he mean by "as we now beleive in transparency" . To me, i take it as he admits, he failed to be transparent before and now that the government wants to be transparent, please go full fledged.

Hahaha, now i am more enlightened as to why the Malaysian corporate has been so poor in acountability thus far. It seemed to be a top down problem professed by Mahathirism. And Tun has just proved it right, perhaps also admitted to it. Thank god, we're slowly getting rid of the rot in our society, little by little. I hope Pak Lah can move in a slightly faster pace then he is currently running at.
