Anwar Vs Minister of what?

VS


Watching the debate, one thing that really struck my mind was how lame our minister of information is. What a dissapointment...
After all the bravado projected in the built up to the debate, i would have expected Shabery to come prepared with all the facts and argument that will knock Anwar out, once & for all. Unfortunately his whole argument tonight seems to be centered in discrediting Anwar at all cost, without really debating on the actual issue. and for goodness sake, what's the point of bringing up Anwar's student days activities in this?
I can tolerate this line of argument if it comes from ordinary UMNO members or remarks made by some umno leaders in MSM, but to do that during the most anticipated debate of the year is just beyond me.
No comment on Anwar as everybody would have expected him to do what he does best and he is smart enough not to entertain that stupid personal attack.
But Shabery... seriously... is that all that you can do.
And I'm still waiting for your answer on what really happened to the more than 4bil saving on subsidies from the previous fuel hike. Hello... or did you answer that? is it just me who didn't get it?
Sorry sir... but if you job is to correct the misperception that rakyat have on the fuel issue, and to counter the so called misinformation and slander of the opposition towards the government, than in my book, you have failed miserably...

Minister Sir, hope you sleep well...

As a father, as a human being... I was fighting hard to hold back my tears while reading this...

Dear YB Syed Hamid Albar

Re: Aina Mardiah Shahrial, 17

You may not know Aina, she is the eldest daughter of Shahrial Sirin, an ISA detainee. On the afternoon of July 2, about 3 pm, she was admitted into Kajang Hospital. The girl was fighting for her life. The family immediately informed authorities at Kamunting, where her father had been detained for the last 7 years.

Somehow, Shahrial was only told of her daughter's illness at 10.30 am the next day, July 3. Aina's mother made a personal appeal to the authorities at Kamunting to let her daughter be with the dad for the last time. The doctors said Aina had only a few hours of life left, God-willing.

The authorities at Kamunting said they could not release Shahrial. They had to get your signature on the release papers. Yes, YB, your precious signature.

Aina's father was finally released at 5pm. It was the longest four-hour journey to Kuala Lumpur.

Shahrial got to her daughter's side at 9.45 pm. He was too late. Aina had passed away at 6.20pm without seeing her father.

Thank you, YB, and may Allah bless you and your family.
