Letter to editor
ALMOST inevitably in Malaysia when large amounts of cash is involved, there will be hanky-panky of sorts.
The latest disconcerting news is that up to 41 accounts belonging to NGO (non-governmental organisation) Aman Palestine have been frozen by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency (MACC).
Last month, MACC launched an investigation into Aman Palestin in connection with alleged irregularities within the NGO’s fundraising activities for Palestinians. Reports alleged that stakeholders were dissatisfied with Aman Palestin’s approach to overseeing donation collections.
According to a statement by the anti-graft agency: “MACC has taken statements from key witnesses. Preliminary investigation has identified several issues involving the misappropriation of funds estimated at RM70 mil which was diverted for purposes other than the objectives of the establishment of the company.”
This letter is to highlight inflammatory statements by PAS head honcho Tan Sri Hadi Awang who in August this year blamed the non-Bumiputera community for making the bulk of the “roots of corruption”.
“They then damage our politics as they are the roots for corruption and the majority of them are non-Muslims and non-Bumiputera,” the Marang MP had posted on his Facebook page.
