Elvis's Easy Question comes to mind.
From Malaysia Insider: Muhyiddin stumped by one question — Ali Kadir
Excerpt:
MAY 5 — Poor Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. There he was talking about the fight against corruption at some national integrity event and about how it was a jihad to tackle graft, when he was left floundering by a simple question.
Datuk Ibrahim Saidun of some think-tank wanted to know why government was not taking action against politicians who lived beyond their means.
“They drive luxurious cars and live in big houses,” he said.
“They drive luxurious cars and live in big houses,” he said.
Actually, this is a question many Malaysians would like an answer to: How come so many ministers and politicians are living beyond their means, and why the MACC is blind to this.
There is no way Muhyiddin could have answered that question honestly. Not when he and other ministers are dead set against declaring their assets.
So let me answer that question posed by Ibrahim.
“The government does not investigate politicians living beyond their means because it would mean having to take action against Cabinet ministers, mentri besars, chief ministers and other senior politicians.
“This will surely put Umno and Barisan Nasional out of business. In addition, taking action against politicians living beyond their means would increase the workload of the MACC and complicate matters for Abu Kassim and his colleagues because they are only interested in small fish.
