“This must be about the sixth time we've been told we can't talk about something this year,” said Kota Baru MP Datuk Zaid Ibrahim.
“I would have thought that, if the CPPS bumiputra equity figure of 45% is accurate, the government and Umno should be pleased that their policies have succeeded and take credit for that.
“The irony is maybe they don't want to reveal the actual figure so that they can keep on asking for more.
“I just came back from Prague where we were discussing something more 'sensitive' – co-existence among Jews, Muslims and Christians.
“It was a shock to come back and hear we aren't supposed to discuss or dispute the government’s equity figures.
“What will it be next time – no discussion on the haze and the API because it would affect national security?” asked Zaid.
Here is someone who has seen what the world is talking about at the Prague (today I googled and learned that it is the capital of Czech Republic; now to google-earth... hehe), and came home shocked to see his country's top people are still at the mud-playing phase.
