naked truth
Plain unadorned facts, without concealment or embellishment. For example, What I've told you is the naked truth. This expression supposedly alludes to a fable in which Truth and Falsehood went bathing, Falsehood then dressed in Truth's clothes, and Truth, refusing to take another's clothes, went naked. [Late 1500s]

Truth is the facts. Once established, it will be there forever - like oil being spread, it's hard to clean and cover up. Through time, truth will surfaced and back to haunt those conspired.
The truth is painful:-
Upon truth being revealed, it caused pain to and hurts many. What about pain? Those who covered up the truth fear it. Those who twisted the facts worry about it. Those who cheated shun it. And those who were betrayed are certainly longing for it while enduring the inflicted pain.

Lim said that Umno’s gag order is aimed at silencing Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah as the veteran Umno man has openly clashed with his party over this issue.

Lim also criticized those who have attacked Tengku Razaleigh.
“Those who are baying for Razaleigh’s blood, like Umno Supreme Council member Dr. Mohd Puad Zarkashi demanding for action to be taken against the Gua Musang Member of Parliament for speaking out on the Kelantan oil royalty issue, have personal political axes to grind.
"Development funds for the states are strictly controlled by Putrajaya, and the PAS government which has ruled Kelantan for more than 20 years claims BN is stifling its economy to squeeze the Islamist party out of the state."
