Quote:“Let me be clear. Taking into account the latest inflation, the latest higher prices, this assurance still holds today. This is because we had designed the package with a buffer precisely in case of higher inflation,” said Mr Wong.
Quote:4. Overemphasizing their trustworthiness: "To be honest."
Liars often overemphasize their truthfulness by adding words or phrases to a statement that are meant to make them sound more convincing. However, the actual effect is usually the opposite. By adding phrases that emphasize they're telling the truth, the speaker loses credibility and weakens the argument.

Overemphasizing truthfulness includes phrases such as:

"To be honest"
"To tell you the truth"
"Believe me"
"Let me be clear"
"The fact is"
You may think these phrases will convince others of your reliability and you probably mean to bolster your integrity and accuracy, but this isn't necessary if you're being honest.
