  • Agreed fully it isn't a rigorous inquiry to unearth the truth, but a political witch hunt in facing the GE 14. The taxpayers' money could've been saved by not having it at all.

  • This RCI Bank Negara Malaysia's forex losses wayang with the RCI chief Mohamed Sidek Hassan reminded me about Nazis regime where they have a Pro-Nazis judge called Roland Freisler, the most infamous judge at Hitler’s People’s Court. He is called the screaming hanging judge. Freisler gained a reputation for humiliating those on trial in his court and it seemed that Freisler had no boundaries when it came to accomplishing this objective. Not only was Freisler judge, jury and prosecutor in the proceedings, he was also the recorder of sentences of the trials he oversaw. Freisler allowed just about anything to humiliate those on trial. Their guilt was sealed even before their trial had begun.
