It's only words?

“The word of a minister should mean something,” said Datuk Zaid Ibrahim, who resigned as de facto Law Minister following the arrests of the editor of an online news portal, a Member of Parliament and a journalist.

“It is an honourable thing to keep a promise and I kept it. But obviously the present minister thinks otherwise,” Zaid told a press conference yesterday.

Read the full report here.

So there you have it - Ministers who do not do the honourable thing. Or at least, one minister.

As if that isn't bad enough, the same minister even has his facts wrong!!!! Whilst he was not doing the honourable thing and revealing to everyone the amount of ex-gratia payment paid out to certain former judges, he was even reported saying that the judges were allegedly not sacked.

After that, the former PM came out to dispute that. The former should know better being personally and directly involved in the whole debacle. the previous de-facto law Minister also confirms the sacking in the report linked above.


Get your facts right, sir.

Malaysia boleh!
