Controversial pro-Umno blogger Papagomo was on board the KD Tun Razak Scorpene submarine yesterday, along with Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and his two deputies - Mansor Othman and P Ramasamy.

In his blog posting today headlined " Guan Eng Nenen Perlekehkan Kemampuan Anak Anak Kapal KD Tun Raza k", Papagomo said the chief minister issued a negative statement about the submarine, when he boarded it at Defence Minister Zahid Hamidi's invitation.

He cited yesterday's Malaysiakini report , quoting Lim as saying that he does not dispute the ability of the navy but differs from the government on the cost of the submarine, Papagomo said the latter had tried to "spin" the issue.

"What kind of statement is this from Guan Eng?" asked Papagomo, adding that the DAP national secretary-general praised the navy yet criticised the submarine.

Papagomo exposed Anwar sex tapes

Papagomo is best-known for his biting blog posts mostly against Pakatan leaders like Lim and opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.

Papagomo has also been publishing clips of a sex video allegedly involving Anwar - the PKR adviser - said to be involved in a tyrst with a sex worker earlier this year, but the latter had vehemently denied the allegations.

Recently, another blogger, Amin Iskandar, lodged a police report against Papagomo for positing that he, too, had been sodomised by Anwar.

Papagomo said during the five-hour voyage in the submarine yesterday, he questioned the crew about everything related to the craft, the details of which are kept by the Navy and considered "a government secret".

"There are things Gomo can talk about and there are things that Gomo cannot say based on the interest (importance) of the country's navy," he wrote.

Papagomo also questioned if the Pakatan Rakyat leaders were aware of how well they were treated by the navy when even government leaders do not enjoy the benefits of experiencing the submarine like they had.

He criticised the DAP for its "clear" agenda to undermine the country's security, and for acting as proxies for foreigners against Malaysia.

Bloggers on board?

Papagomo dedicated two posts to Lim's adventure in the Scorpene submarine yesterday, with another posted yesterday related to the CM being "seasick".

"I was informed that no other blogger was on board. Initially blogger Papagomo was supposed to be on board, but I had objected as I refused to be in the same submarine with a liar bullying young kids, who made false allegations against my 15-year-old son of sexually molesting his classmate," said Lim in a statement today.

"I have never met Papagomo and Zahid had promised that Papagomo would be removed. During the dive, I saw two TV3 crew members and one Bernama reporter. Zahid should clarify that he had not lied to me and the press."

However, Papagomo was not the only blogger spotted yesterday.

According to eyewitnesses, Zakir was on board the boat heading to the submarine from the frigate anchored some distance off the Langkawi coast. However, he did not board the Scorpene.

Zakir also attended the press conference at the Langkawi airport where Lim and Zahid briefed journalists on the submarine trip.

But during the conference, when Zahid was asked if there were any bloggers who visited the submarine, he replied in the negative.

"If we allowed any blogger to go, others would ask, too," he had said.
