PBT’s invitation to debate

Madam Chui’s invitation to a debate is a fair one, and I hope we can see the truth come out.

I’m not sure how a ‘debate’ is all that helpful though – this is not a policy or philosophical issue requiring great intellectual surgery; what we need are facts and proof. I certainly look forward to conclusive documentation by either side.

I note however, some of the figures from the same article:

In earlier statements, Chui said remaining funds amounting to RM590,665 were distributed to the Association of Wives of Ministers and Deputy Ministers (Bakti) (RM350,000), the Bureau on Learning Difficulties-PBT centre in Seberang Prai (RM220,000) and three other charitable organisations.

The extremely high figure given to Bakti, whose integrity should also be examined in light of the Balkis saga involving lawatan sambil belajar and all sorts of extravagances, is rather suspect.

Donating some is better than what Balkis did, but note that the sum transfered is more than 150% of the sum donated.
