BN tak angkuh, Najib jawab ‘pukulan mati’ Kit Siang
KUALA LUMPUR 12 Mei - Bekas Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak menyifatkan sindiran Penasihat DAP, Lim Kit Siang bahawa kekalah PBS pada Pilihan Raya Kecil (PRK) Sandakan semalam sebagai 'knock our blow' (pukulan mati) kepadanya, sebagai satu lagi tanda obsesi Kit Siang terhadap beliau. Menurut Najib, beliau hadir di Sandakan hanya untuk separuh hari dan sempat memberi satu ceramah atas permintaan PBS. Tambah Najib, selepas Pakatan Harapan kalah berturut-turut dalam tiga PRK iaitu di Cameron Highlands, Semenyih dan Rantau tidak ada seorang pun pemimpin BN secara angkuh menuduh kekalahan PH sebagai pukulan mati. "Kit Siang telah berkempen berhari-hari di PRK Cameron Highlands, Semenyih dan Rantau. Puluhan ceramah diberi oleh Kit Siang di sana.Lalu PH tetap kalah juga walaupun Kit Siang telah kuat berkempen. "Tapi tak ada seorang pun dari BN yang angkuh sehingga menuduh bahawa semua kekalahan PH ini melambangkan pukulan-pukulan mati untuk Kit Siang." sindir Najib.

Authorities were accused of a slow response and lack of coordination in rescue operations. The charges include involuntary manslaughter and causing bodily harm due to neglect, the source said. Prosecutors have drafted a 292-page report that details "a series of mistakes" in handling the disaster. The accused include Rena Dourou, the governor of Attica region, which includes Mati; Elias Psinakis, mayor of Marathon; and Evangelos Bournous, mayor of Rafina and Pikermi, all towns in the region.
