Horses' Mouths - June 26


Hidden stats 
This raises suspicions of hanky-panky in the voters database.
Tony Pua, Petaling Jaya Utara MP, on Election Commission’s reluctance to reveal statistics of new voters registered by political parties

Observers

We hope they are appointed very soon so that they can go through the proper training and start their tasks as soon as possible as it is not enough just to be observers.
Ambiga Sreevenasan, Bersih 2.0 co-chairperson, welcoming the naming of five non-governmental organisations by the Election Commission to monitor the coming general election

LRT line extension

I advise Najib to handle this coming scandal well for the good for his administration's reputation.
Rafizi Ramli, PKR strategic director, warning PM Najib Razak to come clean on the RM960 million Ampang LRT line extension project

Women ministry

This is only temporary. When we win the next election, we will put a woman minister in my place.
Najib Razak, on being the Women, Family and Community Development minister

Lynas

I only said that, as a nuclear scientist, I find that the radiation level is low. I never said that the Lynas plant is safe. There are other considerations such as the chemical process that needs to be looked at.
Che Rosli Che Mat, Hulu Langat MP

ISA torture
When he told us his story, his tears flowed .... He also told us that, even during his service in the Iraqi army, he had never seen torture this severe.
Fadiah Nadwa Fikri, Lawyers for Liberty coordinator, on the torture of Internal Security Act detainee Sami Hammad

Singapore diplomats

We strongly condemn the involvement of the three diplomats in the Bersih rally because it violates the Vienna Convention (on Diplomatic Relations) where sovereign nations must respect one another.
