bloggers are liars
“Lies after lies are being told,” Abdullah was quoted as saying. “They feel they are free, they cannot be disturbed and they can say whatever they wish to say.”
‘they’ here refer to… who do you think… none other than people like me… bloggers who writes on socio-political matters. of course he also meant other internet users e.g. website owners, those in forums and so on.
yes, he mentioned those who are on the web but he specifically mentioned the name ‘bloggers’.
Abdullah did not specifically identify his critics, but said bloggers and other people were using Web sites “to create stories” that underscore how online freedom has been manipulated.
see?

mr prime minister, i am not a liar. i am a blogger with a face and a name. i write mostly based on what the media reported, what i had seen and heard. so if you think what i wrote were lies, then it was them who lied too!
anyway, what is a lie? how do you define a lie? how can you tell that we lied? what made you think we lied? when we write something not to your liking? when we unearth some ’secrets’ you are hiding?

There is no bigger liar than the man who pointed fingers at others.
lucia: oh something like the malay proverb ’siapa yang makan cabai, dialah yang rasa pedas’?

Anything becomes a lie if you hurt their ego. And their ego is mighty large but basically tribal. Sensitivity is a one-way street affair. Blanket accusation has become the norm ; demonization, a concerted effort supported by the ever spinning MSM. In a straitjacketed society only sycophants are valued, the rest suspects.
lucia: let’s not forget the river of the nile, too. you know what i mean.

To me, a lie is something that cannot be proved. Even if it is the truth. Hehehe.. maybe that’s what he meant by lie.
lucia: hmm… food for thought… but what if he don’t believe in the proof too and label the proof as lie??

Regarding lying, the choice is between saying that lying is wrong, fundamentally wrong, hurtful, deceptive and ultimately even “white lies” cause more harm than good, and saying that lying is sometimes acceptable (usually so that the truth will not hurt the feelings of the person who is lied to) and having the boundaries of white lies expand to infinity.
Often that the government told nation that the economic is growing, by the time i saw that ah long’s businesses were really blooming. True or fault, sometime u wouldn’t know!
lucia: well i suppose maybe a lie could be very personal… i mean how the individual see it as a lie, according to his/her own assumption. to A, something may be a lie but to B it may not be a lie. do i made sense here?

[...] Lucia Lai takes offence at her prime minister using the term “lairs” to describe bloggers who write negative posts about his leadership. “anyway, what is a lie? how do you define a lie? how can you tell that we lied? what made you think we lied? when we write something not to your liking? when we unearth some ’secrets’ you are hiding?” Preetam Rai [...]

Half truths proponents and practioners aren’t ppl who are satisfied in maintaining that status quo. They tend to push the paradigm of lies in an expanding manner to suit themselves just so as to preserved and entrench their advantages and power that they have acquired….until they will tell obvious and outright lies with increasing impunity because they were not challenged earlier.

Mav, the lair of liars always do that…their top honcho has “executive privilege”.

My teachers taught me not to tell lies as honesty is the best policy.
I was also told that all politicians are dishonest and are liars.
Worst I was also told that 98.88% of 99% religious people cannot be classified, as they have taken all words and actions to the Next level,
whatever that means.
The other 1.12% got chance, with a probability of 1%.
So what is a liar ?
Hahaha
lucia: i don’t know because i don’t lie at all. oops. that is a white lie.

Great shot, Lucia. To AAB a “lie = inconvenient fact”.
lucia: thanks, KT. hey first time see you commenting.
on January 31st, 2007 at 4:20 pm
yeah.. oftenly we lie when we say good things about them
lucia: yeah… remember the saying ‘if you don’t have anything good to say, better don’t say it’? because if we do say it, it will be a lie!

The PM comment and statement is clumsy, seemingly parroting, clearly not smart, of course full of hole and unconvincing. Is our PM getting too comfortable and apathetic in his thinking.
While this PM have never shown great public speaking ability, his handling of public appearances like these interviews and Q&A show a distinct poor management skill..
lucia: yes i agree. if you compare him to our ex PM, the tun… i’ll have to say the tun win hands down in PR!

Refering to http://members.tripod.com/conspiracy2/disinf.htm,
it is clear that aab is using the “Twenty-Five Rules of Disinformation - The Politicians’ Credo” to confuse the public as to who is the liar. Simple case of the pot calling the kettle black.
lucia: i can’t access the page with the link you gave.

Demand they prove the lie. No proof. No lie!
lucia: yeah true… but will they believe the proof?
