Mr Tombong,
The fact that you may be thing that you are doing good
job by posting your so-called updates, I absolutely
question the accuracy of the updates. Also the
Attorney General's statement, I quote " In line with
the Government’s commitment to the
> principles of transparency
> and accountability, and having regard to the fact
> that justice must not only
> be done, but it must be seen to be done, I have
> invoked my powers under
> section 11(1) of the Coroner’s Act, Cap 7.04, and an
> application is
> simultaneously being lodged with the Chief Justice
> to order that an inquest
> be held touching on the death of any persons as a
> result of the events of
> the 10th and 11th April 2000." end of quote, is
vague, as he himself knows that the government he is
serving is neither transparent nor accountable. What a
lie he is telling the whole world.
