YOURSAY ‘Why silent all these years and now singing like a sparrow?’
Pua says he'll sue Lester for defamation
Aries46: MP Tony Pua, if Muhammad doesn’t come to the mountain, the mountain has to go to Muhammad.
And since this 'Johnny come lately' Lester Melanyi is up to no good, teach him a lesson on truth, honesty and integrity that he will never forget.
It must also be a lesson to his backers not to indulge in vile schemes to defraud the people. Lester is a fool for incriminating himself for those with vested interests.
Since he admits involvement in this conspiracy to topple PM Najib Razak in the last four years, why was he silent all these years and why is he singing like a sparrow only now?
Whose side was he on? Is he a double agent? What was his price?
Fair Play: Pua, you are smart. You are not suing Lester really, but sending a strong signal to his backers to back off or face the risk of being exposed.
Justice Pao: Yes Pua, sue Lester, unlike Najib and 1MDB, who will not be suing Sarawak Report and The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) because they are scared of the truth being revealed.
The problem is that Lester is already bankrupt and will do anything for money to survive.
Overlord: The bankrupt nation is running out of funds. Hence, this court jester will be left to die on his own if legal proceedings are made against him. By the way, when is Najib going to sue WSJ and Sarawak Report ?
Headhunter: If the 10 percent truth he mentioned refers to the 1MDB billions in Najib's personal bank accounts, I think that’s good enough for us.
The trouble with Lester is that 90 percent of what he said is all tall tales created by his not-so-bright paymaster.
The fact that he admitted he was paid to make the video should give Pua a huge advantage in winning his case.
Negarawan: Lester had a stroke three months ago and has obviously not recovered, based on his slurring and mental incapacity.
It's a pity that he has allowed himself to be taken advantage of by Umno, even to the extent of ridiculing himself in front of a discerning international audience.
The incompetent manner in which his videos were prepared, riddled with careless mistakes and doubtful information, is clearly an act of desperation.
Lester should admit his mistakes before he puts himself into a really messy legal situation, and risk another stroke.
Discovery: Lester is being coached on what to say. Pua, please sue him and grill him in court.
I bet you he will falter 90 percent of the way and will have his foot stuck in his mouth because no one is going to be sitting next to him to coach him.
Homesick: I expect to read in tomorrow's news that PKR secretary-general Rafizi Ramli will say he is going to take legal action as well against this discredited clown. Rafizi is definitely implicated in that Mickey Mouse low budget so-called 'confession' video.
James Steward Stephen does not exist. There is a James Steward and he is no master forger. In fact, he works for a bus company in Norwich, England.
When contacted by Sarawak Report , he was very annoyed his picture was used and said he has no dealing with Malaysia whatsoever.
Wg321: Not only Pua should sue this ‘pokai’ (broke) fellow, he must also go after minister Abdul Rahman Dahlan, who dared not name him for meeting with Justo.
I hope Pua will inform Rafizi that his name was also mentioned in Part 2 of Lester's paid video confession.
I hope both of them earn some money to finance their GE14 campaign. After all, the market price for Lester's "confession" may be worth a few million ringgit.
Firestone: I pity Lester. He is so naïve. He doesn't realise his sponsors will abandon him and keep a distance from him once the legal letters start flying. Better enjoy his Sarawak laksa for now.
Despairing Malaysian: Nobody in their right mind believes you, Lester. You have zero credibility.
Mushiro: Maybe Najib's lawyer should take note in the way Pua plans to serve his letter of demand. This is unlike how they served their letter of demand to WSJ.
Hplooi: That's Najib’s strategy. Get the detractors so mired in lawsuits like this so that there is less energy to talk about the truth.
This country is going to the dogs if such standard operating procedures are allowed (treating the federal Treasury as a party and personal ATM).
The amounts will get larger and larger in future. Where are you, electorate majority?
