In the news article Tony Pua accuses Najib Razak as being involved. In reality it should be the Minister of Works or Minister of Transportation who gave the go ahead and should be the one directly implicated? Unless the project is important enough to warrant a discussion and direct approval by the Prime Minister in a Cabinet meeting. In these cases should we actually find out more, or just take the news reports at face value? Because anyone can accuse anyone here, and the newspapers will happily report whatever is uttered in public.
