"Accountability" only applies to publicly exposed sexual indiscretion and not financial scandal or abuse of power.

"Anti-corruption" means only the small fish, or those who are no longer favoured by the PM, are investigated and prosecuted; and not across the board, without fear or favour

"Bad things will happen if opposition wins big" means we will engineer another riot^ and impose Emergency Rule. ^ Not my original idea - see various commentaries written

"Clean" means turning a blind eye on all evidence of graft or abuse of power, and usually follows "We will look into it", and is a perk that's only extended to top tier government politicians

"Cost effectiveness" only applies to the private sector, and certain unfavoured public sector

"Democracy" means majority mob rules, without regard for rule of law, respect for fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution, real public consultation, or meaningful and intelligent debate in the Parliament

"Free and fair elections" means strictly free for the ruling coalition to abuse state apparatus during campaign period, breaching Electoral Laws by promising projects as bribes, monopolising the media and denegrading the opposition, benefiting from ages of gerrymandering, and having a compliant Election Commission

"Freedom of assembly" is only for supporters of the ruling coalition - any opposition rally is deemed a threat to "National Security" (see below)

"Freedom of religion" is only meant for adults and not children, and is only for non-Malays (so who says only the non-Bumis are discriminated against)

"I can't remember" means I can actually remember those corrupt things I did but I am counting on the commissioners of inquiry, police, ACA investigators etc... not to draw any adverse inference on my credibility, because they are supposed to know how to do their job (of protecting me)

"I will listen" means listening only to self-serving kaki bodeks; and not the civil society and public at large
