Sharifah Armani said that she'll sound stupid if she spoke in malay, when receiving her award for best female actress at the Malaysian Film Fest recently. I can excuse her for that. Its obvious that she, like many malays including myself, thinks in English. But i cannot excuse a Prime Minister who gets his facts wrong.
From the very beginning of the much publicised Interview with the PM on TV3 it was a PR disaster. There was no need for the interview in the first place but the PM's camp thought otherwise. Many thought he was merely defending his son and son-in-law. He defended the criticsm that Pantai Holdings was in the hands of foreigners, he defended SCOMI stating that the Company never profited from goverment projects.
He had to admit his mistake on the Pantai affair, Khazanah came to the rescue and brought back Pantai Holdings to the fold. Now, he says he might have been wrong on SCOMI and that he'll apologise if he had made a mistake.
Either he was mis-informed or he didnt check his facts before tackling the issues...either way, he came out of it looking more stupid than Sharifah Armani thought she did.
