Wee to Khairy: Sue me
Wee Choo Keong (PKR-Wangsa Maju) turned the table on Khairy Jamaluddin (BN-Rembau) today by challenging the Rembau MP to sue him.
"I'm challenging Khairy to sue me and I have repeated outside the House (now) that (the allegations)," said Wee when met in the Parliament lobby today.
Yesterday, Wee caused a furore when he insinuated that Khairy was connected to the company that built the Low-Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) in Sepang.
Khairy however fired back at the Wangsa Maju MP and dared him to lodge a report to the Anti-Corruption Agency with evidence, and to prove the claims.
"I dare you to lodge a report to the Anti-Corruption Agency if you have any evidence at all. I can take legal action - your allegations are malicious," Khairy had said.
455 army personnel with UN frontline
The government revealed that 455 Malaysian army personnel have been on the frontline with 10 United Nations Peace Missions covering the parts of Lebanon, Sudan, Timor Leste, Congo, Ethiopia, West Sahara, Kosovo, Liberia and Nepal.
Responding to Alexander Nanta Linggi (BN-Kapit), Deputy Defence Minister Wira Abu Seman Yusoff said that the personnel were in three categories - armed forces, observers and official staff.
"We have peacekeeping armed forces in Lebanon and observers in Sudan, Timor Leste, Congo, Ethiopia, West Sahara, Liberia and Nepal. Together with this, we have official staff working Lebanon, Sudan, Congo and Kosovo.
He further stressed that Malaysia has shown a great example in fulfilling UN's requirement "to show that we are ready and committed to the world's peacekeeping".
Slashing of subsidies unavoidable
Second Finance Minister Nor Mohamed Yakcop today disclosed the fact that the slashing of petrol price subsidies was unavoidable so that Malaysia can be prepared if the United States "undergoes recession".
He said in his speech for Ninth Malaysian Plan that Malaysians should be more disciplined so the money saved from the subsidies could be used on rainy days.
Nor Mohamed also did not rule out the possibility that the government may borrow from International Monetary Fund (IMF).
He defended the rebates given to private vehicle owners as the government continues to subsidise diesel price for public transportation.
