SCANDAL, LIARS, WHO IS LYING?

Wahai Liow Tiong Lai, di manakah kau?

Apa penjelasan kamu terhadap kes ini. Kenapakah pihak kerajaan Singapura mengharamkan pengambilan biskut-biskut berikut: [klik sini], tetapi pihak kementerian kesihatan Malaysia mengluluskan/menghalalkan pengambilan biskut-biskut tersebut yang tercemar dengan melamine?

Kenapa pihak Singapura boleh mengesan tahap melamine yang melampau tetapi kementerian kesihatan Malaysia tidak boleh? Apakah berlakunya penyelewengan? Apakah berlakunya unsur-unsur rasuah di sini? Sila jawab, wahai yang pandai Liow Tiong Lai.

Wahai Liow Tiong Lai, kalau anda tidak berkemampuan untuk memegang jawatan Menteri Kesihatan, sila letak jawatan, jangan memperjudikan nyawa-nyawa kami sebagai rakyat Malaysia. Anda tidak bertanggungjawab, pihak kementerian kesihatan Malaysia perlu memohon maaf kepada rakyat Malaysia. Anda perlu letak jawatan. Anda tidak layak. Anda tidak "FIT" untuk jawatan Menteri Kesihatan dan sememangnya anda bukanlar doktor kesihatan. Anda mungkin tidak faham ataupun tidak tahu menahu proses kesihatan.

Wahai Liow Tiong Lai, sila jawab.

if what shadowfox say is true... i think a lot of food products in our market are tainted. i have personally seen newspaper reporting a certain brand of bread being dangerous and the very next day declared safe.

either the authorities made a mistake... or someone somewhere out there made a lot of money.

I made a call to 03-8883 3655 to find out more. The number was stated in the newspaper The Star.

I asked the person in charge on why we have this discrepancy. Standard answer:

Malaysia use batch 1 for testing which is not contaminated.

Singapore use batch 2 for testing which is contaminated.

They promise to do more testing by using batch 2 that Singapore use for testing.

Then I asked them, if the product is not known to be safe, why the Kementerian Kesihatan announced to the public that it is safe to consume. She told me their testing is OK. Then I said, now Singapore banned it, why Malaysia still allowed it. The girl "oh, we cannot simply issue press statement to ban a product".

Bloody hell, then you can simply issue press statement to say it is safe to consume. If someone die because of this, I wonder what will the government do? Cover up the case again? Is government trying to protect to manufacturer or US the rakyat?

I am so pissed off now. I personally bought 2 packet of Julie Cheese & Peanut butter biscuit. Sooky my wife already finished the Cheese Biscuit. Basket, sooky is pregnant now some more. Bloody hell government. Stupid Idiot.
