Horses' Mouths - February 27

Soi Lek continues PAS-o-phobia

The majority of Mentris Besar will be from PAS if Pakatan Rakyat takes state power in the coming general election.
Chua Soi Lek, MCA president

Lynas

We want a decision to be made in 24 hours, or else our committee will start immediately on a bigger demonstration... to make sure either we bring down Lynas or bring down this government. You change your decision or we change you.
Wong Tack, Himpunan Hijau 2.0 chairman, warning government of larger protest if Lynas factory not stopped

The project is factually and scientifically safe.
Najib Razak

Badrulamin Baharom

The statement by the Pahang Islamic Religious Department (JAIP) deputy director that I was detained while committing khalwat carries no truth at all. I believe this incident was a plan to trap and embarrass me.
Badrulamin Baharom, PKR supreme council member, denying allegations he had been caught for “khalwat” (close proximity) at a hotel in Kuantan last weekend

NFC

We are recommending to the Attorney-General’s Chambers that all NFCorp directors be charged (for CBT).
Syed Ismail Syed Azizan, CCID Director

NFCorp therefore wishes to enquire the police if, in their investigations, they had paid enough consideration to the fact that there is total lacking of the elements of dishonesty in this case, which is a primary ingredient of CBT and cheating?
National Feedlot Corporation, denying any criminal breach of trust (CBT) in its loan agreement with the government, even accusing the police of “unfairly” pre-empting the charge

I am saying this on the principle that assumptions cannot be made on what is going to happen (next) because it is up to the A-G ... and only he has the right to make the decision in this matter. We cannot make the assumption that all investigations end with prosecution.
Najib Razak

After having sighted the NFC (National Feedlot Centre) loan agreement that was made available yesterday, coupled with the public statement by the Commercial Crimes Investigations Director (CCID), I would say that the Attorney General’s Chambers should not have any doubts in their mind now, that these are clear cut case of CBTs by agent as defined under Section 409 (of the) Penal Code. There’s no two ways about it. This is not like a breach of an agreement.
Mat Zain Ibrahim, former KL CID director

Indian community

With the allocation, Tamil schools in the country will enter a new phase of history and we have to thank the government for this.
Samy Vellu, former MIC president, telling Indian community to be grateful to the BN governmeny for the construction and repair of Tamil schools

Corruption in mosque

I found that the amount we had in the bank was significantly different from what we had raised.
