we review with good surprise that Dato' Seri Zahid Hamidi has once again reiterated his "invite" to me to encounter him with regards to a price increase over a merger of 6 naval patrol vessels from RM6 billion to RM9 billion. we feel extremely honoured because this is a third entice in 4 days!
His initial entice done via a press was upon 29th December, followed by an additional upon 31st, as well as an additional yesterday, upon a 1st January of a brand new year all of that were published in Bernama. He need not have done so many invites, he had me at "hello". we had rught away after reading his initial invite, publicly responded that Pakatan Rakyat MPs, Nurul Izzah Anwar, Dr Dzulkefli Ahmad as well as myself have been some-more than happy to take up his suggest of clarifications upon 30th December.
Unfortunately, despite his eagerness to encounter me, a Defence Minister appears to be very poorly sensitive as well as does not review a news. So, we repeat again here, that we accept a entice from a Minister to suggest clarifications as well as look forward to his fair office to make a required arrangements for a visit.
Shocking behavior
What was however some-more intolerable was his explain that I've never dared to face him over a controversial acquisitions even in parliament, as well as insinuated that we was a coward for raising a issue usually during domestic ceramahs.
The on top of is finish as well as finish unsteadiness as we was benefaction in Parliament as well as even debated heatedly as well as at length with him when he was replying in Parliament upon these issues twice in Mar 2011!
When he was responding to a subject from Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng upon a 8th Mar 2011, we was there as well as chastised a Minister for un-ministerial poise for asking my colleague to "go behind to kindergarten". (Hansard pg 5 9 http://www.parlimen.gov.my/files/hindex/pdf/DR-08032011.pdf)
In a some-more extensive subsequent discuss upon twenty-one March, when a Minister was directly reply to my questions raised in parliament, he had even in jeopardy to sue me for defamation. we had stood my belligerent as well as debated at length with a Minister over a procurement of 6 naval patrol vessels as well as 257 armoured personnel vehicles. (Hansard pg 34 - 54 http://www.parlimen.gov.my/files/hindex/pdf/DR-21032011.pdf)
Selective amnesia
Hence Dato' Seri Zahid Hamidi's allegations that we was not benefaction in Parliament unprotected usually how forgetful as well as absent-minded he is. Even worse, it shows that a Defence Minister does not check his contribution before creation statements.
Given his absent-mindedness, we would serve similar to to remind a Minister that he had twice in Parliament in Mar final year reliable that a price for a 6 patrol vessels have not been finalised as well as a bill roof of RM6 billion has been set.
On 8th Mar 2011 in Parliament, Dato' Seri Zahid Hamidi had said "pada masa ini pihak kerajaan masih belum memuktamadkan harga. Sejumlah RM6 bilion telah diperuntukkan sebagai siling! dalam
Read More @ Source Rancangan Malaysia Kesepuluh dan sebahagian akan melimpah ke Rancangan Malaysia Kesebelas dan mungkin hingga ke Rancangan Malaysia Kedua Belas." (pg 6). He repeated a same upon twenty-one Mar 2011 in Parliament (pg 52).
However, a Defence Minister now has a cheek to contend in his latest matter to Bernama that "the price of procuring assets for a inhabitant counterclaim register will not exceed a roof set by a government", when it has increased by 50% from RM6 billion to RM9 billion in less than a year!
All of a on top of points to a fact that we have a clueless counterclaim apportion who is arrogant, forgetful, ill-informed as well as ignorant. The demeanour in that budgets have been so easily exceeded will usually increasing a likelihood of realising Dato Idris Jala's greatest fear, that Malaysia might be broke by 2019.
