PETALING JAYA: Critics have slammed economy minister Rafizi Ramli’s defence of the prime minister holding the finance portfolio, citing the possibility for abuse of power.
Center to Combat Corruption and Cronyism CEO Pushpan Murugiah said the finance ministry and the prime minister’s office must be kept separate as both hold significant influence.
“(The finance ministry) has access to the financial structure of the country, including the extensive network of GLCs, while the (prime minister’s office) controls regulators such as the politically appointed attorney-general and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC),” Pushpan told FMT.

Aman Palestine graft case is slap in Hadi’s face for claiming non-Muslims are root causes of corruption

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.

PETALING JAYA: Anwar Ibrahim has been the undisputed leader of PKR for more than two decades but as the party meets for the second time since he was appointed prime minister, questions abound over its multiracial credentials.
According to a source, non-Malay party leaders and members have been complaining among themselves about being increasingly sidelined since Anwar’s rise to power, despite strongly backing both him and the party over many years.
