Anything cheaper?

So here's what AAB said at the closing of the Langkawi International Dialogue (LID) 2007:

As we are well aware, actions speak louder than words.

So, as we leave this beautiful island of Langkawi, let us resolve, each of us, to do our bit and play our part to give practical meaning and ensure the implementation of the plan of action that we have just adopted here.

As they say in popular jargon, let us walk the talk.

YAB, when you first masuk PM's office some four years ago, i remember you dem garang lah. Conducted surprise visit to Immigrations office. Made them quake, then buck up. Shortly thereafter, there was the Royal Commission on the Police Force - had some of the best minds on the panel. Based on their report, you promised an Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) will be set up. Then there was Perwaja's Eric Chia; arrested and charged for CBT. Then Kasitah Gaddam, for corruption.

You declared a War on Corruption. Wah. And you made the Promise. Woo-ooh.

You were glowing. Rakyat shiok you. i also shiok you. i thought maybe you were the real thing. After the Mahaheroics era, here comes someone with deeper self-confidence and the wisdom to reach for the soul of our land and its people.

That was then. Shame on me.

But if that wasn't bad enough, you've upped the ante on Najib and Samy for saying things you don't mean without even tripping a lie muscle.

IPCMC mana? "Work with me, not for me" mana? Flushing out corruption mana? Integrity and openness mana?
