YOURSAY 'Carpet trader Deepak Jaikishan's revelations in bits and pieces has kept the issues alive in the news, and not immediately forgotten.'

Deepak sets conditions for Bar Council

Lim Chong Leong: If Deepak is sincere about curbing crime, corruption and murder, he would not set conditions for his revelations. Now he is just playing games with Premier Najib Abdul Razak, his wife Rosmah and all of us.

We do not need him. When the time is right, he can be subpoenaed as a witness.

Boiling Mud: On one hand, Deepak says he is determined to persist in his 'crusade of truth' to dig up the dirt as he feels that Malaysians "deserve to know the truth" and "this is for the good of the nation."

On the other hand, he is setting conditions to assist the Bar Council to investigate claims of malpractice against a lawyer who allegedly drafted private investigator P Balasubramaniam's second statutory declaration.

Does he sound like a person who genuinely believes in telling the truth for the good of the nation and the people? Talk about some people speaking through both corners of the mouth at the same time.

The Mask: Some people really need a lesson from the Sun Tzu's ‘Art of War'. Even with the bits and pieces of revelations and innuendos, the people allegedly involved in the scandal are keeping a deafening silence.

If carpet trader Deepak Jaikishan were to reveal everything all in one go, there will still be complete silence and eventually all will be forgotten. But his revelations in bits and pieces have kept the issue alive and not immediately forgotten.

The PM was rumoured to have suffered a stroke, and he is said to be under pressure to step down. To me, I think Deepak is doing a great job. Would you all have known all these, if not for Deepak?

Dhammika: Deepak, for God's sake, work together with PKR deputy director of strategy Rafizi Ramli to quickly expose the truth of the whole episode. Time is running out.

You are no more in PM Najib Razak's and his wife Rosmah Mansor's good books. Hit the iron when it is hot before the general election.

Jean Pierre: Never mind his motives, Deepak is an important piece of the puzzle that weaves Najib, Altantuya Shaariibuu's murder, P Balasubramaniam's SD (statutory declaration) and the Scorpene scandal together.

He has done more damage to Najib than the French investigation did. More importantly, he will be an important witness in the trials after the Fall.

Let him reveal what he will, in his own fashion. We are not losing anything.

Bukit Raja land worth RM400mil, claims Deepak

Anonymous_40c3: DAP and PAS, do not be used by this carpetbagger. If he wants to sing like a canary, by all means he should do so in the interest of the nation as he has claimed.

His actions thus far are full of spite and are self-serving, as one can discern from the interviews he has given.

Ugack: Let's assume if Deepak successfully profited from the land and in the process is made a multimillionaire, will he expose all this? This only shows one thing, the pie is no longer for everyone to eat.

Ketuanan Rakyat: RM160 million is too small an amount for the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to act.

Remember what happen to Teoh Beng Hock in his involvement over an alleged RM2,500. This is truly 1Malaysia where Umnoputeras and puteris can get away with hundreds of millions of ringgit.

AnakMalaysia: MACC, where are you? Are you keeping quiet or doing something about all these revelations?

Remember, all 28 million Malaysians are watching, both MACC and the actors involved in this drama.

Don't wait too long or else the rakyat would surely have zero trust in you, for letting this mega-controversial issue burn in the open, without anyone taking action against Deepak or whoever is behind this.

Awan Megah's Puspahanas two years overdue

FellowMalaysian: It's almost two years overdue now and what has been done so far is just two small structures with reinforced concrete frames not even completed?

The constructed works barely costs RM1 million and therefore the progress so far is 1% and not 10% as claimed. If Awan Megah's contract has not been determined yet, are they charged and fined for delay in contractual delivery the past two years?

At 10% interest per annum, the fine could well be RM20 million. Defence Minister Zahid Hamidi should be held wholly responsible for abuse of power and for misusing public funds.

Imagine if this fiasco were to be a Penang State government project - MACC would have sent troops after CM Lim Guan Eng a long time ago.

Gerard Lourdesamy: ‘Satu lagi projek Kerajaan Barisan Nasional, Kroni Didahulukan dan Rakyat Dibankrapkan'.

Why no response from the PM? Silence is not always golden and when one is silent for too long, it can amount to acceptance. Why is the "great" Dr Mahathir Mohamad, the father of cronyism, keeping quiet?

It is time that the rakyat give these Umno-BN politicians their just reward. A public trial, a long term in prison and confiscation of their assets including those of their children, grandchildren and in-laws.

Ghostwhowalks: If Awan Megah has not fulfilled the contractual requirement to build the defence training complex, why did the Defence Ministry honour the agreement to transfer the ‘disputed' land?

Anonymous_3e21: And why didn't the Defence Ministry cancel the contract after such a lengthy delay? Is it because it belongs to one of their own?

Anonymous_40f4: Most government projects are given to useless Umno politicians. After being awarded the project these politicians, go shopping for subcontractors.

The first four months, there is no work on site. But they are paid for doing nothing following ‘arahan dari atas’ (orders from above).

Then after one year, the subcontractor gets conned and the job is abandoned for many years. The first crony walks off and the project is re-tendered at a higher price.

The whole cycle is repeated again, and again. The two-year job is completed after six years at triple the cost to the taxpayers.

Ez24get: This project looks like it has failed and isn't going to be completed after the money was siphoned by Umno crooks.

And it has already been bailed out by government-linked company Boustead using public funds, in this case, the army retirees’ fund.

Anonymous #43051382: Work about 10% to 30% complete, but payments and land already given. This type of business anybody can do.
