Zaid Ibrahim: PM wanted a royal commission, but …

Friday, October 26th, 2007 | 1:54 am @ SK

Kota Baru MP Zaid Ibrahim, someone I’d rate as the "conscience of Umno" told Parliament yesterday to establish a royal commission to probe into the infamous "VK Lingam tape" as reported by Malaysiakini.

Zaid, a lawyer by profession, raised a few points which no doubt is going to further strengthen concern on the purpose of the establishment of three-man independent panel.

  1. The panel is powerless, why not just form a royal commission?
  2. Why the panel and ACA are investigating the matter together?
  3. Go after the message, not the messenger!

More importantly, Zaid raised an interesting perspective which has never been highlighted before, when he said the PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi wanted a royal commission of inquiry set up to investigate the tape but some people in the government do not want the commission.

Who’s the "some people", it doesn’t matter, that’s beside the point.

What really matter is, why our PM can’t be seen as doing the right thing at his own conscience?

Just once, can’t you, my dear PM please ….

    Plain and simple.  Some people in the government got him by the b*lls!!!  .

    Oh.  OK.  Right.  PM wants a royal commission.  The rest of the hoods just want their commission… and they’ll keep quiet.

    He’s not his own man but a big empty suit to shield them.  His own position depends very much  on that mutual symbiosis.

    Some people in the gomen got him by the hair of his balls.  Any minute movement causes excruciating pain haha.

    Here’s taking a swipe at Wong Chun Wai who said: "In all fairness, too, we must commend Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi for his willingness to quickly order an investigation by the independent panel."  Commend?  Isn’t it obvious from the beginning that the toothless panel is only a PR exercise?  Wow, what an ass kisser.  I wish I have such loyal fans who are always trying to get inside my panties.

    assuming thats the truth, then the answer is obvious. who is the organiser behind the panel? simple, isnt it.

    Read the Star and save on an emetic with Wong Chun Wai.
