THE FRENCH COURT NOT INTERESTED IN THE EMPTY BUCKET WE BOUGHT.

THIS CARICATURE WAS THE CENTRE-PIECE ON NOMINATION DAY.
I LIKED THE FAMILIAR LADY PEEPING UP FROM THE BUCKET.
YOU SHOULD BLOW UP THE PIC WITH A CLICK.

Aiyah, why so defensive. I was there at the 3:00pm Press Conference at OneWorld Hotel. Mr Joseph Breham was here to continue their ongoing probe on French company DCN who sold us the empty bucket. Empty, as in a submarine with no weaponry. This calls to mind what recently transpired in Parliament over the purchase of jets with no engines. Yes, no engines. No fibs lah:

PAS MP Mahfuz demanded that the government explain its recent purchase of eight Aermacchi MD339D training jets with no engines from Italian company Alenia Aermacchi, at the cost of 88.8 million Euros (RM379.1 million).

"When I double-checked with the deputy (Defence) minister (Dr Abdul Latif Ahmad), he confirmed it and told me they decided not to take the engines because the government couldn't afford it.

"Whether they took the planes with engines or not is not an issue, but why is it that the Eriterian Air Force paid just US8.8 million (RM28.09 million) each for the same plane with engine," Mahfuz said.

OK stop sniggering and let's get back to the Press Conference.....Mr Breham assured the audience that they are not probing any of our Ministers or officials. He is merely here to gather information on DCN. If they later find DCN guilty of dubious deals which might implicate their dealings with us, then the scenario would be interesting. At this stage, don't you think that MACC should take the initiative to probe the PURCHASING POWER of our officials.You can't be depending on RPK to be giving you leads all the time.

When our government is corrupted and majority of its officials are incompetent at the same time,we should expect all these scandals to happen.It happens because people of Malaysia allow it to take place as majority of her people prefer a government which is corrupted and incompetent.

So long as UMNO/BN is the federal government,we can expect more jokes to be churned out at regular interval.Some are genuine mistakes due to incompetency and ignorance but majority are downright corruption and abuse of power.

We just have to put up with all these baloney ( nonsense) so long as malaysians are still having the third world mentality,ie continue to give the mandate to UMNO/BN to rule this country.

Hi Anon 8:46 pm

Govt should have bought our trainee pilots copies of the latest version of Microsoft Flight Simulator instead.
Even at, say, the "govt price" of RM 100,000 per copy, still cheaper than the planes (and even more functional!).

Submarines with NO WEAPONRY, not at all surprise because we have a bunch of so called military and do not care a shit of the rakyat hard eraned money decided to buy these sub sub submarines.
This is Bolehland.

I don't think the issue is only that we have paid more for the same planes (well, not quite the same since theirs have engines) than Eriteria but that we had bought 8 planes without engines because we cannot afford them with engines. Wouldn't we have been better off buying 4 planes with engines? That way, we will have at least 4 planes that can do what they are designed to do, i.e., fly, whereas we now have 8 grounded planes, and we don't even have a large old mining ground in Kelana Jaya to park them in, even if we were planning to use them as restaurants!

You're expecting the MACC to take initiative to investigate this? It's asking the Malaysian Court of Appeal to find in favour of the former PKR state government in Perak.

You must understand that the head of the MACC & all the appeal court judges feed from the same bowl as UMNO. So how to take action?

PKR as the legal & proper Opposition in Parliament can appeal to the Italian government to launch an investigation into this matter. They can in fact approach the Italian AG office. They can also approach the EU parliament to investigate this. The problem seems to be that PKR lacks the imagination & knowledge of international law to pursue the matter further.
