Muhammad2 Taib still did not get it?

No, I meant, he did not get the real reason why people complained that his English was not good enough.

In fact, most people believe his English should be good, being a product of the good old English medium of instruction, and especially because he has just mentioned in The Sunday Star, that he had a First Class Honours Degree in History from the University of Malaya! Not sure whether the medium of instruction for his degree course was in English, but I used to have breakfast with one of his former teachers from Sabak Bernam who can attest that students in those days have better English than now.

We believe he was less than truthful (to be polite) when he told the Australian authorities that he did not understand the sign in English. So, the people here are harping on the fact that he lied to get away from the offence. It was a case of ‘if you said you did not understand English in Australia, how could you claim you are good in English now?’ Which is which? Either he lied then or he is in fact, not good in English. It would have been opportunistic for him to claim that he is good in English, now that he is going for a higher position in Umno, and by virtue of that, the possibility of being Deputy Prime Minister.

How could we accept someone who is lacking in integrity for such a high position in government?
