A classic spin by Ambiga
FMT LETTER, From Yuktes Vijay, via email
I refer to S Ambiga’s comments published in FMT. Ambiga states her reason for withdrawing from the debate was because it was premature to discuss the tribunal’s finding when it was incomplete.
It is a lie. A classic spin.
In my first e-mail to the moderator, I had proposed the following title :
“Title of debate: TRIBUNAL RAKYAT 2.0
Subject: BERSIH’s People Tribunal had submitted its findings on GE 13. The findings indicate and suggest that but for a cleaner election the Government would have changed. Was this a fair or a bias finding. Discuss”
It is clearly stated there that “the submitted findings” is what I intend to debate. After the moderator informed me of her reason of not wanting to debate, I clarified with another e-mail that it is not the tribunal findings that I would like to discuss.
The true nature of the so-called Iron Lady can be seen with this quote from her published in FMT:
“But he kept insisting to the moderators later that he only wanted to debate about the findings,” she said.”
Firstly how can I insist when it was not even what I suggested in the first place?
And I had clarified her wrong presumption (now I know it is an excuse) through my 2nd email via the assigned moderator.
In short it is the “submitted findings” that I would like to debate about. Ambiga is trying to play with the word “finding” here in order to generate an excuse. However, sadly, those very DNA is in me too.
Why would I want to debate about Bersih or more like, what can we both debate about Bersih? Topics on the source of their fundings or the fact that Bersih actually consist of 60 unregistered NGOs does not appeal to me or has any benefit to any Malaysians.
Perhaps, we can debate on the links to George Soros, a convicted criminal and someone who has personally taken credit for creating chaos in various countries. The link to George Soros can be seen with NGOs like WAMI, SUARAM and Lawyers for Liberty who are part of the Bersih coalition receiving funds in the form of grants from George Soros funded NED organization. In fact Ambiga herself has admitted that Bersih itself receives funds from NED.
