Dangerous Words

Can anyone confirm if PM Najib actually said this?

Making a last-minute pitch in a DAP stronghold, he announced an allocation of RM5 million for flood-mitigation projects in Rejang Park.

“I want to make a deal with you. Can we have an understanding or not?” Najib asked some 1,000 people who attended a public rally at the residential area.

“The understanding is quite simple. I help you, you help me,” said the Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman.

“If Robert Lau becomes the MP on Sunday, on Monday I will ask the cheque to be prepared,” Najib told the all-Chinese audience.

I’m not surprised that Ibrahim Ali made this statement wrt the May 13 gathering:

“Even Tun Mahathir himself had explained that the gathering was meant to inform, and that the gathering was peaceful, just as the Chinese also organise their own gatherings.

“If they do not feel safe with Malays having such gatherings, they can leave the country,” he quipped.

There is a saying (I don’t know from where, but definitely not Malay) “We take care to put clean things into our mouths but never bother about the dirty things coming out of our mouths”. No, things coming out from our mouth does not refer to puke. To enlighten the less informed, the saying simply says we should take care of what we say.
