He said he was hurt by the "manner, words and location" used by Ong to voice his allegation about "missing funds" allocated for refurbishment of Chinese schools. He claim the latter's remark was hurting him and the image of his ministry.
So hurt that he "declared war" on Ong by cowing the entire cabinet to reprimand Ong's "baseless" and "irresponsible" statement.
I think he is getting hurt again. This time, by his own cousin.
Last night's Mandarin news on NTV7, the Deputy Prime Mini-star Najib Razak had changed things the other way round by making his cousin, the Education Mini-star looked "baseless" and "irresponsible".
The footage showed the DPM spoke in Malay, confirming the existence of inconsistency in the figures whereby the amount of money approved for the school in question was more than RM29,000 but the renovation work was only worth RM3,000.
I think this is too much. Why is everybody hurting him?! That revelation has rendered the whole ministy of the Education Mini-star more tarnished!
Fortunately, the damage is only confined within the Chinese community. Local Chinese newspapers had earlier reported the anomaly from the findings of an investigation headed by our Works Mini-star Mr. Semi-Value, who is determined to unravel the hurtingtruth.
Exactly as I had commented in a forum, the mainstream media blackout ensued.
I feel like a Prophet.
