PALANIVEL CLEAN IN EVERY ASPECT, SAYS SAMY VELLU

My friend Siva yesterday night told me that he overheard in the news that MIC President S. Samy Vellu had mentioned something very funny which tickled his funny bone.

He said that Samy Vellu had called G Palanivel: "a clean man and that he was clean in every aspect".

Well, seriously we both have a good laugh afterwards.

And I was looking forward for the piece of story this morning hoping to find that the papers would probably have quoted the particular phrase.

However to my dissapointment only UTUSAN had covered the story but the phrase wasn't in quoted format.

Here's how it was written:

Samy seterusnya berkata, selain itu antara beberapa sebab mengapa beliau memilih Palanivel sebagai penggantinya adalah kerana Naib Presidennya itu seorang yang bersih dalam pelbagai aspek selain bercakap benar dan berpegang kuat kepada agama.

How dissapointing indeed. Like I told Siva, it would have been a frontpage story if the papers were to quote that particular phrase.

So, is Palanivel as "clean" as claimed by Samy?

I wander what he meant by "clean from every aspect"?
