RM24m Ringgate - Najib's denial a bit too late lah...

So the Prime Minister has denied that his wife bought the RM24 million ring. Lies, lies, lies, he said.

I have some problems with his denial. One, why would the First Lady’s name be on Customs Declaration form? Did someone use her name to evade paying tax? Was it a gift from someone to the First Lady?

So far there has been no denial (even the simple verbal kind) that the customs form was a fake. So I can only conclude that the form was bona fide and that the people who the ring from New York was addressed to Rosmah Mansor.

I can understand why Najib is nervous about the ring. If this ring story does not go away, it throws up many issues, including how someone married to a public official can afford a RM24 million ring.

My second problem with this whole ring affair @Ringgate is that both the PM and his wife have been so slow and almost reluctant to offer a denial. If I remember correctly, it was more than a few weeks before Rosmah said anything about it.

And now the PM just gives a denial, without any explanation how his wife’s name ended on the Customs declaration form.- Tan Teck Huat
