This is the untold tale of one political party’s actions in two states regarding two manufacturing plants and double standards.

Does freedom of expression take precedence over the course of law or even investigations by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and auditor-general?

No citizen in this nation has ever been ruthlessly attacking the government locally and also internationally - except Anwar Ibrahim. While the government is trying its best to solve the mystery of MH370, Anwar Ibrahim has launched an international onslaught on Malaysia’s prestige and repute in disgraceful ways.

Beware what lurks below Anwar Ibrahim’s superficial charisma. If you listen to any of his speeches or attend a Kajang town hall meeting, he may charm the pants off of you. Charisma and charm are important for Anwar because both mask his integrity deficit. Anwar’s history of flip-flopping, on virtually all issues, should not only alarm the Kajang electorate, but the rakyat at large. Without integrity, how can he be trusted to be menteri besar of Selangor?

What a month it’s been for Malaysia’s economy. Fourth quarter GDP growth was stronger than expected (4th quarter GDP - 5.1%, and GDP for 2013 - 4.7%). Foreign Direct Investment for 2013 is the highest on record. The budget deficit has been reduced to 3.9%, exceeding the government`s target of 4%.

In his haste to blast the status quo for Malaysia’s ranking in the World Press Index 2014, DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang has forgotten that it is his own son, Lim Guan Eng, and other DAP members including Teresa Kok who have sued the media and activists for reporting issues that put them in a bad light. Shame on you, Lim Kit Siang, for clearly practising double standards.

Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim has now admitted that not only is he running for the Kajang state assembly seat, but he is also in talks to replace the current menteri besar of Selangor, Abdul Khalid Ibrahim.

Anwar Ibrahim has, once again, put his personal interests above those of the nation. In a brazen attempt to seize the top job in Selangor, Anwar has effectively forced one of his own to resign and imposed a costly by-election on the country, at a time when budgets are tight.

How low can PKR get in its feeble attempt to make right the Selangor plot that went awry? In a limbo rock move, PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim announced yesterday that he would contest the coming Kajang following a collective decision made by Pakatan to ensure a strong victory.

Last Sunday, Jan 19, 2014, opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim was denied entry to Japan and subsequently deported. While not only an inconvenience, it most certainly was an embarrassment for a man whose arrogance and sense of entitlement now reaches all the way to Japan.
