Via Malaysiakini:
"There is only one process in this country and the process is that you make a report to the police and the police investigate … I think these NGOs are stupid," Nazri told AFP."We don’t need another system, independent inquiry and all that," said the minister, whose portfolio includes legal affairs.
Nazri is right to reject the establishment of a new independent inquiry to look into the ACA’s director-general case, afterall, it’s either no action being taken or the independent inquiry went dark.
However, it’s too harsh and inappropriate for him as a minister to make such a rude remark by calling NGOs stupid. The call is unwanted, reflecting the lack of respect and the quality of cabinet that is being thrusted by the people to manage this country.
Or probably, just to be fair, this is merely the typical case of a drunkard telling people he isn’t drunk.
Tell me about it, Minister Nazri.

Unsurprisingly enough, the PM’s come out and demanded a "full probe into allegations of corruption and abuse of power" by the ACA DG… one day after Nazri called NGOs stupid. Guess the joke’s on him.

thats is why its always in my mind that these politicians are brain dead idiots, they talk without even the slightest idea of what they did … only to realise their
mistakes a day later and go all about it appologizing and all …
relating my experience – most recent ones, the johor flood … NGOs was the first to be down there … the Goverment agencies? what goverment agencies?
hmm… a minister vigorously defending an employee of the government. strange isnt it coz how often you hear that. and the employee is the chief of ACA.
you wonder why and why. up to u readers to form your own conclusion whether this stupid-calling minister is doing the right thing. hey, another minister has called others stupid. i guess thats the flavour word of the current season. and the season is not that great . coz the stupid-calling ministers are all stressed up by public pressure?
