Muhyiddin calls Bar Council fines parking tickets

With every statement that our esteemed Deputy Prime Minister makes, he falls further in my estimation.

Speaking to reporters today, Muhyiddin said: “We don’t know what is the agenda of the Bar Council.
“It is as if they are on the side of certain quarters. I am sure they have some agenda.”

Since Rohaizat, the UMNO candidate for the Permatang Pasir by-election was disbarred for misconduct by the Bar Council last year - before we even knew that there would be a by-election - Muhyiddin is attributing great powers of foresight to the Bar Council with his statement. He should simply admit the fact that UMNO screwed up with their choice of candidate and withdraw from the by-election.

Besides, since the High Court upheld the disbarment of Rohaizat a mere five days before UMNO nominated him for the by-election, is Muhyiddin going to allege that the judiciary has the same agenda as the Bar Council ?

“The important point is that the Elections Commission has cleared him,” said Muhyiddin.

I do agree with Muhyiddin that this is THE important point. On that count, we should judge Rohaizat's candidacy on it's merits. But it does beg the question : How in the world did the Elections Commission clear him ?

And for that matter, didn't Rohaizat think it was important to inform UMNO of the High Court judgement before he was nominated ? We can only speculate on the reasons ;-0
