I refer to your report Deputy CM: 'Why didn't Anwar give us more?'

Sarawak Deputy Chief Minister George Chan Hong Nam accuses Anwar Ibrahim of failing to award Sarawak a higher oil royalty when the latter was finance minister. In response I would like to share a joke:

Soon after Nikita Khrushchev took over as president of the USSR in the 50s, he held a briefing and dialogue session with party leaders and members. During the dialogue a man stood up and angrily addressed Khrushchev: 'When you were in Stalin's government, why didn't you speak up against his cruel and dictatorial decisions and actions?'

Before the man could go any further, Khrushchev leapt to his feet shouting: "Who said that? Guards! Arrest that man!'

The entire hall full of people froze, and the man who had spoken up could only pray that the guards would not be able to identify him. After a few moments Khrushchev calmly said, 'There. Now you know why I never spoke up against Stalin'.
