Double Standard

What I see here is a gross double standard by BN MPs trying to gain political mileage. I dont see them this vocal when DAP MPs pictured were doctored recently. Walk the talk. BN MPs to me are just like budak budak sekolah making noise in the Parliment. I suggest they use their time to debate on more fruitful policies that will benefit the people. This is clearly a waste of time and taxpayer's money.

Backbenchers furious over doctored pic of Najib
KUALA LUMPUR: Despicable and shameful.
These and other words were used by angry Government backbenchers over a picture that purportedly showed Datuk Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak with murdered Mongolian beauty Altantuya Shaariibuu.
The doctored photograph, posted on the Parti Keadilan Rakyat website on Monday, showed the Deputy Prime Minister being flanked by a woman who looked like Altantuya and political analyst Abdul Razak Abdullah Baginda, who is charged with abetting in the murder of the woman.
The superimposed photograph is purported to refer to the testimony of prosecution witness Burmaa Oyunchimeg, 26, who told the murder trial that she had seen a photograph of Altantuya dining with Abdul Razak and a Malaysian official known by the name of “Najib Razak”.
However, the photograph referred to was not shown in court.
Najib had, in the past, repeatedly denied his involvement in Altantuya’s murder.
Barisan Nasional MPs, when met at the Parliament lobby, said the antics of the PKR leader who posted the picture was despicable and shameful.
Datuk Bung Mokhtar Radin (BN – Kinabatangan) said the PKR leader had gone overboard, adding: “The Opposition cannot simply spread lies to discredit national leaders. This is a criminal act.”
Datuk Hasan Malek (BN – Kuala Pilah) said such impudence showed that the Opposition was now under pressure to the extent they were willing to bring shame upon themselves and their supporters.
“They should not have resorted to cheap politics. The people are aware that the information and photograph published are false,” he said.
Datuk Mohamad Aziz (BN – Sri Gading) said legal action should be taken against the PKR leader concerned for slandering a national leader. – Bernama
