OC Phang – Najib Diverts Attention from Bala Story

I just caught a quick glimpse of that breaking news. OC Phang the General Manager of the Port Klang Free Trade Zone (PKFZ), has been arrested and was going to be charged today. Accompanying her is Bernard Tan the architect and the CEO of the main contractor, Steven Abok.

After all these years of allowing the PKFZ scandal to brew and simmer away, drastic action is suddenly taken. Call me a cynic but the timing is perfectly synchronised with Najib Razak’s deafening silence to PI Bala’s return and revelations, dont you think?

PI Bala revealed information which points accusing fingers at Najib Razak, suggesting he has a lot more to do with the murder of Altantuya than he lead the Malaysian public to believe. Najib is resolutely quiet. Guilt-ridden silence. He needs something to get Bala off the headlines. Easy – get OC Phang and her colleagues arrested and charged. Looks good, doesnt it? He appears to act in the interest of justice and accountability by bringing the dramatis personae of the PKFZ scandal to book. At the same time, he gets a breather from those Bala revelations.

Smart move huh?
