“A lie and a mistake are two different things altogether. But when a person insists that a mistake is a lie, he becomes an idiot.” J. Wong (2011)
Lim Guan Eng mistakenly stated in the media that Novandri is the vice-president of UMNO Bukit Gelugor. Novandri insists that Lim Guan Eng lied in the media.
Why would Lim Guan Eng lie about something like that, Mr. Novandri? You’d lose nothing, not even your reputation. So you’re not the vice-chairman of UMNO Bukit Gelugor, fine. It’s just a mistake, ok? You don’t have to harp on it. Or else people will think of you as an idiot for not being able to differentiate between an honest mistake and a lie/fitnah.
Or perhaps Mr. Novandri is all too farmiliar with lie/fitnahs as he had made too much of them in his blog accusing Lim Guan Eng of corruption(?). I really have no idea how he’d recognise a simple, honest mistake as a lie/fitnah. If going by his logic, I’d be fitnah-ing a person if I have mistaken his identity. The world would be in chaos by then. :3
