CHIAK LUI adj. what some government people are doing

Two Tourism officials are being probed for misusing tax-payers' money to produce a "tourism promotional" video. Some ringgit 850k had been awarded to a non-existent company, also known as friend's wallet. And here is the best (or worst, whatever, I have finally lost the ability to discern what's good or bad afterall):

The Tourism Minister appears to be concerned about how the story was leaked to the public, and to make matters more dubious, he blamed jealous colleagues for blowing the whistle!

What does the story tell us?

Government ministers would prefer a closed-door discussion to solve matters pertaining to tax-payers' money. Or, even better for the Ministry, if the matter was not discovered at all.

The article can be found here. Read it and weep....

And an interesting story to distract us from the real problems of our beloved country...

Faizal "mr semi monty" Tahir, the runner-up of One In a Million, is in hot water for an over-zealous performance on a recent live TV show. He thought publicly exposing himself was the best way to win attention. And boy, was he right.
