Placard response to Dr M

KUALA LUMPUR: Outside the lobby of the Jalan Duta court complex seven members of the Malaysian Youth Secretariat held a mini protest for about 20 minutes from 10.30am, ridiculing the answers given by former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad on Thursday.
They held placards with slogans like “Mahathir Muda Lupa” (Mahathir easily forgets) and a caricature of him drawn by the side.
We remember: The group holding placards condemning answers given by Dr Mahathir to the commission on Thursday.
Its spokesman Yunus Ali said that in most instances during the inquiry Dr Mahathir had replied that he could not remember or was not aware of the situation and denied any acquaintance with Lingam when he was in power.
“This is a clear indication that he has forgotten his past actions during his tenure as the prime minister.
“And Dr Mahathir had once said that Malays are forgetful. Actually he is the one who has proven to be most forgetful,'' he added.
Yunus said that Dr Mahathir's family and Lingam had known each other for some time as Lingam had represented the former prime minister's eldest son Mirzan Mahathir in connection with his libel suit against printer Star Papyrus Printing Sdn Bhd in 1999.











tunku : placard on ex prime minister reported in The Star but placard on prime minister is not reported,WHY ? are they scared of the prime minister or they have hidden agenda ? at least other newspaper did not report both.
regarding this so called malaysian youth secretariat, i think they don't understand what Tun had answered.to the question of which Tun answered that he don't remember is not relevant to the current on going case.one more thing is mirzan appointed lingam does not means that tun have to know him too.
