'Hot' Member of Parliament

The 'honourable' Member of Parliament from Jasin has come out strongly against the 'corrupt' Customs officers who he said were selling seized luxury cars to their friends in the palace and government offices very cheaply in return for other favours. It could be true, but coming from him! Why? Why now? The customs have been seizing luxury cars that were illegally brought in for years. Something is fishy!

Remenber this guy? He is the one who tried to import sawn timber illegally from Indonesia and was reported to have asked the customs to 'close one eye' over the matter. When the customs refused to oblige and it became known to the public, he is now on a warpath against the customs.

Who is he to talk about corruption? When he intervened to help the company that imported the sawn timber, everyone thought that he was trying to help his constituents as he also claimed. After further investigations by our local reporters we find out that the company belongs to him!

This is what is going on in this country, but this guy must have rubbed someone the wrong way, otherwise we would never have heard about this issue or even this MP's name. We'll see if he survives in the next election. Most probably he will be bringing up racial issues like the rights of bumiputras and about religion to cover up his activities and most probably he will be elected.
