In a Yes Minister BBC TV sitcom array of a late '70's as well as '80's, a novice minister is prepared upon very accurate as well as utilitarian techniques by a Chief Secretary to a Government, Sir Humphrey Appleby (was there ever a some-more disagreeable civil serpent?), upon how to answer formidable questions acted by journalists or antithesis politicians. One such technique was for a Minister to say, "No, that's not a genuine question. The genuine subject is.." as well as afterwards go off during a tangent. And afterwards of course, there's regularly which life-saver of all serving Ministers - "As it may have inhabitant as well as possibly, even regional as well as global, confidence and/or economic/financial implications, we am fearful we cannot venture a clear answer during this juncture. An eccentric supervision inquiry...'
It is clear which most of a Prime Ministers as well as Ministers contingency be good fans of a Yes, Minister series, since as well which London is their favourite holiday haunt, in spite of a sterling:ringgit sell rate of about 5:1 with London being a single of a most costly cities in a world! Within a space of a week, 3 Ministers have deflected embarrassing questions by answeringquestion which were not asked.
In a $ 40 million unexplained income for which a Malaysian Currency Mule was arrested in Hong Kong, Minister Nazi answered which it was not bootleg for Malaysia Politics to embrace donations from unfamiliar parties. Incredibly, a PM weighed in with a claim which a subject of bootlegging did ! not aris e. No a single hadasked them those questions.
The genuine subject was, since a fact there was grave suspicion which this $ 40 million was suspected to have been accumulated from bootleg kickbacks from Sabah timber concessionaires related to Malaysia Politics Sabah, because hadn't a MACC found any a single estimable of being charged for corruption? If it was not tainted money, because was it hand-carried as well as smuggled into Hong Kong, instead of being eliminated strictly into Malaysia by bank telegraphic send fromSwitzerland,where sat another $ 52 million? Very stinky, we say?
Zahid Hamedi, Minister of Defence, afterwards follow fit by claiming which Navy morale as well as inhabitant confidence were undermined by a Opposition taking potshots during a operational capabilities of a Scorpene submarines. But really, lately, no a single asked him which question. What most have been asking is, how after 6 years, neither PM Najib nor Polis Diraja Malaysia hasidentified as well as prosecuted a person(s) who ordered a murder of Altantuya?
But, someday behind (two years or some-more ago), it was a Minister himself who subjected a Navy as well as inhabitant confidence to gibe by rigourously announcing that, "the inability of a $ 3.8 billion Scorpene submarine to dive will not hamper a sub's operations!"He also waffled something about a code brand new submarines not having formerly been tested in a warm waters of a tropics!
Not to be outdone, Kong Cho Ha, Minister for Transport, voiced currently that"The Silent Majority Want a Automated Enforcement System (AES)."No a single asked him what a wordless infancy suspicion or wanted; as wel! l as aft er all, if a infancy were silent, how would a Minister know what they suspicion or wanted?
Okay, let's first get absolved of this $ 700 million AES cost tag to be borne entirely by a concessionaires. The CCTV cameras were quoted during $ 350 million, as well as presumably, a change of $ 350 million will be for software, installation, commissioning, processing, administration, staffing as well as financial costs. The 1:1 comparative measure for hardware:non-hardware does seem way as well high. Even if a supervision is not profitable for it, there's a subject of a AES concessionaires amortising $ 700 million of costs prior to arriving during a distinction sharing sum in between them as well as us. So, is it not in a government's interest to lift out an review to discern these costs have been genuine as well as not inflated? How formidable is it for a republic of Ali Baba's as well as rent seekers to artificially inflate costs by appointing surrogate "buying agents", as purported against certain parties in a Scorpene submarine fiasco?
But then, because is a stipulate wrapped around a Official Secrets Act? Once again, UNCONSTITUTIONALLY, a sum as well as conditions as well as conditions of a open stipulate have been being concealed from open scrutiny. Why? What happened to PM Najibs' 1 transparency as well as accountability? What is a supervision unequivocally hiding from us?
The alternative genuine questions are:
1. Why would any supervision privatise trade corruption pick up which has been we do nicely for a coffers for 55 years?
2. Why would it anticipate privatisation when a intensit! y gross income from a brand new AES proceed could be as much as a stratospheric $ 50 billion a year to a Treasury, creation it probable to annul road tax as well as tolls as well as buy out all a associate blood-sucking toll highway as well as city road concessionaires inside of a couple of years?
3. Why would a supervision plantation out this contract, when with a outrageous intensity income from a AES trade fines, it could easily financial a plan by itself, or if necessary, around bank loans? After all a trade multiplication of PDRM has been handling this issue since similar to forever!
So, a collective stench from all these irrelevant questions, diversions as well as answers is plain explanation which it is not a PEOPLE, their interests or reserve which a brute supervision of PM Najib as well as BUMNO/BN is giving priority to. Their not-so-subtle machinations have been transparently geared tolining a pockets of croneys so which they can secure a solid cashflow to fight a entrance elections as well as thereafter, as well as keep themselves glass for their London, New York, Paris, Washington, Munich, Switzerland, Argentina, Tokyo as well as Sydney jaunts!
