A friend in need, is a friend indeed. Sontoloyo series no 57

1. The charges before Shamsul Iskandar has yet to be proven. Until then, he is innocent.

2. The charges (4+1) have it that Shamsul has corruptly taken a total of a out 240k.

3. Both accused have pleaded not guilty of all the charges.

4. Here's where things get interesting. If one of the accused deny having given Shamsul a total of 240k, what has Sam taken?

5. 240k marbles or 240k pieces of rubber bands?

6. I don't abandon a friend just because at the moment, there's a setback.

7. He was an MP when I served as one.

8. Didn't the media conduct their own self righteous trial by media, a few weeks ago?

9. The amount of 600k+ was splashed about? A list of receipts was displayed triumphantly?

10. All to show that shamsul is a greedy and conniving fellow.

11. All proven to be lies and media sensationalism only.

12. The object of derision is not Sam really but PMX..

13. Sam's decision to quit because of the 2nd reason, that being to protect the PM, was therefore a correct one.

14 . He read the situation well and knew where this ruckus will lead to.

15. As to the corruption charges, that will be handled by his lawyers.

16. Whatever the accused say outside the courtroom is mere verbiage. Whatever we laymen make comments, they are reading material only . Worth reading or rubbished accordingly.

17. If we are reading tea leaves, they will tell us, whose conduct will lead to loss and victory.

18. While Sam has remain calm and collected, telling supporters to pray and he will stoutly defend himself, the same cannot be said of the accused

19. He has been ranting uncontrollably and screaming incoherently.

20. What have lawan tetap lawan, reformati and allegations about being asked by the PM to video record his nefarious dealings got to do with the case in hand?

21. His conduct is already loathsome

22..the allegations about getting endorsement from the PM to record his nefarious transactions, can be a separate litigation case

23. His verbal outbursts caused bigger holes being dug. This is clearly a case of loose lips sink ships

24. Storied and sensational tales by the media must never be believed immediately.

25. Didn't the media gleefully had the bribed amount as 600k plus?

26. Now the amount tendered in court charges is 240k. What happened to 400k? Gone into the pockets of the media?

27. The media had it that Sam was given 600k to try to get back the money that was given to Sabah aduns.

28. Now, the legal charge says 200k plus to get mining concessions, not get back money .

29. How can the charges hold? Sam is not in the approving state committee nor is he a Sabah adun.

30. You may say, it's a directive from the PM? That has to be proven kan?

31. Therefore to me the case against Sam is not an open and shut case

32. On the other hand, the case against the other accused, is grimmer.
