24 hours, 48 hours

Pakatan Rakyat leaders are so used to giving ultimatum, demanding apology and threatening legal actions against those they deemed as 'trying to be funny' with them.

Not that they only give ultimatum to Barisan Nasional figures but their own partners in the political pact also have to withstand such a method. You said something wrong about others, for sure you will 'kena!'

Latest is the spat between Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and PAS' Temerloh MP Nasrudin Hassan.

GEORGE TOWN, Aug 7 (Bernama) -- Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng wants Temerloh member of parliament Nasrudin Hassan, from PAS, to apologise over the undersea tunnel project claimed to cost RM4.63 billion and given to a company through direct negotiation.
He said if Nasrudin failed to issue an apology within 24 hours, he would take legal action over the latter's untrue statement.
"It is clear that Nasrudin had lied, as the undersea tunnel project was given to Consortium Zenith BUCG through open tender and not through direct negotiation as publicly claimed.
"The overall cost of the project is RM3.6 billion and not RM4.63 billion, and Nasrudin continued to lie as the Penang state government under Pakatan Rakyat has never experienced a budget deficit but in fact, recorded a surplus," he told a news conference at his office, here, Thursday.
Lim was responding to Nasrudin's statement on a portal which questioned the action taken against Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim over the Kinrara-Damansara Expressway (Kidex) issue.

However, it was not proper for Lim to liken Nasrudin to Barisan Nasional's MPs. He has forgotten how some Umno MPs had supported him over Penang State Government's policy to bar foreign chefs. Tourism Minister Nazri Aziz was one of his supporters.

And in Selangor, Mentri Besar was given until Saturday or 48 hours to defend himself before PKR disciplinary committe on allegations of 'wrongdoings' brought against him.

PETALING JAYA: Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim has until Saturday to explain allegations brought against him by the PKR disciplinary committee.
In a statement, the committee's chairman Datuk Dr Tan Kee Kwong (pic) said the Selangor MB has been asked to attend the hearing on Friday at 3pm at the PKR headquarters here.
"If the time and date is not convenient, the committee also suggested a time before Saturday noon," he said.
Tan said Khalid has to explain six issues, including allegations that were outlined in the 24-page report listing why he shouldn't remain as MB that was released by the party.

One of the matters that he needs to explain is his statement made on July 22, saying that the appointment of the new MB should follow the due process as stated in the state provisions.

Khalid, who receives strong support from PAS Majlis Syura to stay as mentri besar, has remained defiant to mounting pressure by DAP and PKR who asked him to resign and make way for PKR president Wan Azizah.

Personally, I support Khalid...
