Malaysians are not school kids

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said that the government will respond to former prime minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad's allegations against the government and the leadership of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
FACT: The responses (so far) are just denials, unsubstantiated with no concrete proofs.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said that Malaysians should stop debating on ASLI's 45% bumiputra equity issue, and that "the government’s methodology to calculate bumiputra equity ownership was no secret and could be disclosed".
FACT: Datuk Seri Najib himself had earlier said that "the government will continue to insist on the official data. We hope this will be accepted and will not be questioned by anyone".

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said that "Abdullah needed time to answer all the latest allegations by Dr. Mahathir because they were only raised last Sunday".
FACT: The allegations were not raised only on last Sunday. They have been raised by Tun. Dr. Mahathir about 6 months ago. Even school kids submitted their project reports earlier and do not ask for more time.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak should not treat Malaysians as school kids.
