Muhyiddin Yassin, Are you blind, deaf or dumb

SHAH ALAM: A PKR official yesterday derided the Deputy Prime Minister for what he described as the latter’s “ludicrous” rejection of a report by the Hong Kong based Perc that Malaysia was becoming increasingly unattractive to investors.

Lee Boon Chye (picture), a vice-president in Parti Keadilan Rakyat and the Member of Parliament for Gopeng, said the government could not be unaware that the report was based on truth.

He said even the less-educated members of the public could tell that things were out of joint in Malaysia.

In its latest report on Malaysia, Perc (Political and Economic Risk Consultancy) says that the country is heading towards instability in the political, economic and security spheres.

Lee, in an interview with TVSelangor.com, said few Malaysians would disagree with that assessment.

“Even those in the lower rungs of society know we have major problems: the integrity of the judiciary, the ‘Allah’ controversy, the theft of jet engines and so on.”

He said it was a shame that deputy premier Muhyiddin Yassin and “all other Umno leaders” were in denial and thus could not be expected to do anything to make things better.

“This is not going to help restore investor confidence,” he said. “The big problem is that they won’t admit there’s a problem.”
