Can We Trust A Liar To Not Lie?

(fast forward to 4:00)

Her mother is not the candidate. I don’t know why are we on a wild goose chase.

-Lim Kit Siang

The question is not whether her mother was or was not involved with Perkasa but how credible Dyana is as a politician contesting for the Teluk Intan seat.

Dyana lied when she said “My mother was not even in the 1st AGM of Perkasa”

It is apparent in this picture shown here that not just her mother helped at the registration table of the 1st AGM of Perkasa but she was actually there with her mother.

Why didn’t she simply admit that her mother was at the 1st AGM of Perkasa as a committee member and added “My mother is not the candidate” in the first interview?

If she’s constantly lying without a second thought now, can you trust her to not lie again?

Let’s get back to the second video and fast forward to 0:39

She did not join Perkasa

Now listen to another of her interviews and fast forward to 0:50


She was involved in Perkasa, I know, yes.

And when she was pressed, she said:

It was just an issue of misunderstanding, because I wasn’t sure the form, she fill in the form or not, or whether membership starts after first AGM or not, you know. And she, she was not, she was no longer involved after, even before the first AGM. So again, the question about membership or not, I’m still very, ver- very vague. I really don- not sure.

Again, I ask, if she wasn’t sure, then why did she lie and said flat out that her mother was not a member of Perkasa? Why can’t she say that she was not sure? Is it because she is afraid that people would look at her as a politician who, by the way is intending to step out as a leader, does not even care enough to know about her mother’s activities and involvements? Then she has a very good reason to be afraid. Would she care enough about the people and their problems?

Or an even scarier possibility is that it is simply because she decided that the AGM took place 6 years ago so surely no one would have evidences of her mother (and herself) participating in the AGM. Then we know that she’s a flat out liar.

By the way, did you notice that she was very, ver- very nervous in the interview?
