YOURSAY ‘The TI chief was the Peruvian attorney who investigated Fujimori.’

Nazri: Let TI chief speak, it's freedom of expression

Mushiro: Culture and Tourism Minister Nazri Abdul Aziz tries hard not to understand that there is no free speech in Malaysia.

Transparency International chief Jose Ugaz and the International Anti-Corruption Commission (IACC) delegates are allowed to speak freely as arresting them will be a major embarrassment for Malaysia.

Any Malaysian saying the same thing will be hauled up immediately by the police and investigated. Remember how, even former PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad was told to stop his speech at the #Nothingtohide forum.

Vijay47: Nazri, I suppose when you are caught with your pants down you can always claim that it is the latest in fashion and then put on your "freedom of speech" hat.

In the case of the IACC delegates, you Umno thugs dare not take action against them and try to make the best of it, your bravery is available only against unfortunate Malaysians.

Ban The Edge yes, but when it comes to The Wall Street Journal and Sarawak Report you slink away like the craven cowards you are.

What happened to the much-vaunted civil suits your master was long crowing about? Another display of freedom of expression?

According to you, former beauty queen Soo Wincci can say what she wants? Fine. Can she also release yellow balloons ?

And you now have the cheek to say that Najib's pathetic staying away from and cowering in fear of the IACC is further exhibition of that liberty.

How ironic that just a few days after the Bersih 4 rally Najib revealed again his true yellow-bellied colours.

Jaycee: "There are some allegations that were unfair to the PM?" said Nazri. Give us a break.

The PM should have considered the consequences when billions of dollars were transferred to his personal bank account. That is not an allegation.

And he even had the audacity to clear himself of any wrongdoing. If this was your hard-earned money, I bet you will be the first to haul the culprit to jail.

Photographer: Let’s be clear who we are dealing with. Ugaz is the Peruvian attorney who investigated Alberto Fujimori, the former president of his own country, for corruption.

Cover-up won't work, international watchdog tells Najib

Negarawan: “Tell the truth. Where did the money come from? What was its intended use and if he did something wrong, ask for forgiveness and face the consequences,” said IACC board member Michael Hershman.

PM Najib Razak is not willing to be put on trial and eventually sent to prison. Najib does not want to become the first Malaysian PM to be indicted for corruption. Najib does not want to be the first Umno president to be impeached.

In other words, Najib fears to be permanently documented in Malaysian history as a traitor of the highest order. However, he is already an utter disgrace to the people of Malaysia, the international community, and his own family.

Kingfisher: A very significant observation by Hershman on the allegation against Najib and a profound statement concerning the need for Najib to come clean.

It must have been very painful for Hershman to say that he had believed in Najib then but is disappointed now. What a letdown.

JD Lovrenciear: Hershman says, “I am still willing to believe in Najib, but he has got to tell the truth.”

Well, we Malaysians are also saying the same these past months since the expose, but he seems not to be listening.

Tired of not getting clear answers, we now want him to leave the ‘throne’ so we can do risk management to mitigate the enormous millstone that will hang on our necks.

Odin Tajué: Hershman, Najib is highly unlikely to accept your advice. You are asking him to do something that is, judging from his action and words so far, obviously alien to his make-up.

He is no gentleman. His manner of dressing, speech and deportment may suggest good breeding, but all that is a thin veneer camouflaging crudity and commonness.

Tailek: Umno, wake up. Even foreigners are criticising your president openly in Malaysia. Don't you think it's time to take stock and do the needful?

Magnus: Hershman, since you are in Malaysia, can you please ask Najib, on behalf of his long-suffering fellow Malaysians, where he really got the monies from for the very generous donation he appears to have made towards a spanking new Abdul Razak Science Centre at the Malvern school he attended in the United Kingdom.

This latest hidden vainglorious case of Najib's alleged magnanimous "honesty and integrity" and generosity of philanthropy in public service, without any mention or credit being given to the public purses of his fellow Malaysian taxpayers, was revealed by Sarawak Report .

Bamboo: The missing billions of1MDB and the RM2.6 billion donation of suspected origin is most likely criminal in nature. He would fight to the last breath for his liberty.

Your Conscience: Yes, you can run but you cannot hide. The curtain is coming down. You can count the bars soon.
