Turkish newspaper lied, Malaysian PM says

Abdullah denies buying RM30 million boat.
"The report is inaccurate. It is a lie. I don't know where it got such facts," he told reporters (in Venezuela) when asked to comment on a newspaper report that he went to Bodrum in Turkey recently to see the boat which he ordered four months ago. [read the report here]
The PM said Hurriyet, the Turkish newspaper which carried the report, will be asked to publish a correction.

I agree that the newspaper should be asked to carry a correction if there were serious errors in the report. It should be made to apologise even. But IF Hurriyet had lied about the yacht and Abdullah, a correction and an apology will not be sufficient. IF it had lied about the PM, the Malaysian government should demand that the Turkish government deals severely with the newspaper. This matter involves the integrity of the PM!
p.s. And let's have the official translation for the original report quoted by this blog here.

Pak Lah sendiri akan periksa sungai belakang rumah datuknya

Monday, 09 July 2007

Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi hari ini berkata beliau sendiri akan pergi melawat dan memeriksa tahap kebersihan sungai di belakang rumah datuknya di Kampung Perlis, Bayan Lepas di sini, untuk melihat bagaimana keadaan sungai itu sekarang. Katanya beliau diberitahu bahawa kerja-kerja di kuari berhampiran dengan sungai itu, yang dikatakan menjadi punca sungai berkenaan tercemar, sudah dihentikan. "Dahulu semasa saya pergi ke rumah datuk saya di Kampung Perlis, saya akan mandi di sungai itu, dan (sekarang) saya akan pergi lawat sendiri," katanya semasa berucap merasmikan Kempen Kesedaran Alam Sekitar anjuran Kementerian Sumber Asli dan Alam Sekitar di sini hari ini. Sebuah akhbar tempatan baru-baru ini melaporkan bahawa sungai di belakang rumah asal ibunya Datuk Kailan Hassan di kampung berkenaan tercemar teruk akibat kerja-kerja di sebuah kuari berhampiran. Bagaimanapun beberapa hari selepas pendedahan itu, kerajaan negeri terus bertindak menghentikan kerja-kerja di kuari berkenaan, dan mula mengambil langkah segera membersihkan sungai itu. Abdullah seterusnya meminta kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang supaya meningkatkan usaha menjaga kebersihan bagi mengekalkan imej "Pulau Mutiara" sebagai destinasi pelancong dunia, dan menurutnya beliau dapati sudah ada perubahan dalam usaha-usaha menjaga kebersihan, dengan beberapa kawasan seperti Teluk Bahang kini sudah pulih dari pencemaran. - BERNAMA
