Two issues that make a controversy in
the ‘Lead by Example’ award from the Antiquities Coalition for our
Permata National program that doubted its funding with dubious financial
resources and the second is the intervention of foreign media. Permata
is linked to PM Najib Razak’s wife, Rosmah Mansor who is the founder and
this organisation is government agency based in the Prime Minister
Department.
The controversial withdrawal of this
award is easily to catch out its erroneous intentions when Professor
Tudor Parfitt, the chair of the international academic advisory panel
for the event himself admitted that the decision is based on media
resources. Should the committee’s recommendations is right or wrong,
Parfitt himself depended solely on media resources and not on any other
reliable informations such as the Malaysia government themselves.
Thus, Parfitt credibility to chair for such a prominent international
academic advisory is doubted when he seems to be reckless in his
decision and his easy way out is to put the blame on his committee’s
recommendations.
