RTM 1 Talkshow


Anyone caught the talkshow on RTM1 jam 9.00 last night with panelists, PAS Youth Chief, Salahuddin Ayub; Menteri Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna (KPDNHEP), Dato' Shahrir Samad and 2 media reps, Hanafiah Man (Agendadaily.com) dan Syed Munawar? Thanks to Dad for informing me last night.

First of all, Sharir came prepared. So he did his homework. But his explanation last night was not convincing. First of all his explanation that Petronas books need not be audited is full of baloney. Petronas wealth is the rakyat's wealth. Its the wealth of the nation. And just based on that fact alone, Petronas books should be made public for rakyat's scrutiny. And more of a reason audited by an independent auditing firm or at least by Ketua Audit Negara.

And please save us the crap on trying to distort the word "pendapatan" and "keuntungan". Playing words to the gallery. At the end of the day, if the govt made the records of Petronas public, I believe we can put any doubts on Petronas's utilization of its profits to rest.

And Salahuddin Ayub didnt fare too well as well especially on the part where he was guessing on the price of the crude oil in 2006. Yes, he was wrong when he said that it hit USD80 then. Which in fact, Sharir corrected him that the price didnt shoot up to that level not until 2007. And looks like Salahuddin also failed to bring in any plans and measures from his end on how to solve this nagging problem of subsidy and rising fuel prices.

Is Malaysia heading down south? Only time will tell..............
