.... I get frustrated. The current Malaysian government will not allow their books to be opened citing military confidentiality. The question is, what is there to hide ? If there are no shenanigans, what is there to worry about ? Bourdon wasn't even conducting his investigations in Malaysia - he was doing it in France !
Further down, MP Tony Pua outlines other deals made by the Defence Ministry which draw scrutiny :
A rough calculation shows that for the 3 deals, an additional RM11.7 billion was paid compared to purchases made by other governments. That buys a lot of diamonds !!
So the questions - and the frustration - are
If there is nothing to hide, why aren't you opening the books ?
Isn't it important to have transparency ?
Isn't it important to show that you are not 'squandering' the rakyat's money ?
Isn't it important to clear your name and shows us proof that the amounts paid were justifiable ?
Damn it, it's my money too !
There are many things wrong with the Barisan Nasional. Granted, perfection is unattainable. But surely a reasonably competent government is not too much to ask for ? Or one where the taint of corruption doesn't stink up the joint !
