Adnan, who is also Putrajaya MP and Federal Territories Minister, had accused the electoral watchdog of wanting to destroy the nation and questioned its source of funding.
He asked Ambiga where she obtained the funds to organise the People’s Tribunal.
“I want to ask Ambiga, where is she getting the money (from)?

The Malaysian public is funding the the Bersih People’s Tribunal to determine whether the last general election was fair and free, said Bersih co-chairman Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan yesterday.
She said public support for its effort was overwhelming as the tribunal is on a fact-finding mission to establish the truth.
“Truth can never destroy a nation. What destroys a country is corruption, abuse of power, racism and dishonesty,” she added.

Training his guns on Bersih once again, Umno secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor has accused the electoral watchdog of wanting to destroy the nation and quizzed its source of funding.
He asked Bersih co-chairperson S Ambiga where she obtained the funds to organise the People’s Tribunal, a fact-finding hearing on the disputed 13th general election.
“I want to ask Ambiga, where is she getting the money (from)?
“Sometimes there are certain masterminds that supposedly use the name of Bersih as an NGO but in fact is out to destroy this country,” he told journalists in Kuala Lumpur this afternoon.
Tengku Adnan had previously turned down Bersih’s invitation to participate in the tribunal, and even alleged that the movement had ferried Bangladeshis to vote in Putrajaya.

Time for Malaysian Opposition to initiate a nationwide stricke like Bangladesh’s current 3-day general strike called by the Bangladeshi Opposition; likewise USA Gov’t shut down from Sept 30 to Oct 16 ‘13 following disputes with Republican Opposition. Please call for a general strike to demand EC ‘s revamp and clean up of electoral rolls, etc; all politicians to declare their assets, Cowgate, Skorpene and Sarawak’s Taib Mahmud to be investigated immediately – after 32 years of earth-shaking plundering to the tune of RM40-50billion, controlling all aspects of economic activities, when he was only elected to SERVE. With majority popular vote half the country will come to a standstill and bring the criminals to their knees. Alan Newman, New Zealand, ranked the highest in democracy & transparency.
