This is fraud. Not a mistake. It is fraud.

Selamat Pagi Malaysia...apa khabar Malaysia?

These days in politics, there is not much to choose between lies and mistakes. Between fraud and political convenience. Between telling a white lie to avoid inconveniences and outright fraud as a means to an end.

You say that you will not work with UMNO, and then you do because you need to work with Umno to do government. You say the price of petrol will fall when you win an election, and then you say it did not because even if you did win the election, you were not prime minister. You say that justice will be served and all those charged will have to prove their innocence in court, and then they are given a DNAA that is virtually a 'Get out of Jail card', and we are told that the reason it is so is because the AG has decided that it should be so. When you say you will do this and then you don't....the line between telling a lie, making a mistake, and fraud is very thin.

When, before you come to government, you say that SOSMA should be amended as the law is ‘too harsh’, and then when you are in government you say that in complex cases involving organized crime, SOSMA is still required for suspects to be held in custody pending investigations. What is that? Did you make a mistake or were you lying?

And the list goes on and on and on.

And today that DNAA to Zahid and a possible pardon for Najib - the first one already a reality, and the latter being openly demanded by many in Umno...and if it was to happen what would it do to the credibility of DSAI and to this Madani government in the eyes of the rakyat? They are now talking about prisoners serving their sentences at home! Now, among those 16,000 prisoners to be chosen to spend their sentences at home, will one of them be from Pekan?

When you knowingly say something as truth when you know it is a lie, then that is fraud. Not a mistake but fraud. Has PMX been lying to us or has he been making mistakes...many mistakes!

Or has he had to make u-turns, and tell lies for political convenience? And the right or wrong of what he has done can be excused as being something he has had to do for the greater good of the nation. Not for vested political or personal interests, but for the greater good of the nation! And it better be that, for you cannot substantiate a lie or fraud because when you tell a lie, you are being dishonest.

This Madani government and PMX, more often than not, is treading too close to the precipice in the manner that it does government. The question of right and wrong is too often blurred - whether deliberately or not, is up for debate. Its credibility is being questioned. Is our PMX making mistakes after mistakes? Or is he simply a man who will do any deal, make any compromise, or enter into any agreement, in order to achieve the ends that he wants?

Hold that in your thoughts this morning as you start another day under this Madani government. They may do whatever they deem fit to hold on to the government, but you and me....let us, at least for today, be good, do good, and be nice to one another. Have a nice day....
