YOURSAY | If only they revile corruption as vociferously as Timah whiskey - superadmin - 01-03-2022 Malaysia Bharu: An anti-corruption body with its own head honcho allegedly caught with his hand in the cookie jar, and the anti-corruption crusaders sitting in the various oversight bodies are apparently looking the other way. Why are taxpayers’ funds wasted on these seat warmers? This can only happen in the world's worst-case kleptocracy. Why is it that whenever allegations of wrongdoings arise against establishment personnel and ruling elites, the authorities go into silent mode? These privileged elements seem to be spared even the national disaster pandemic SOP compliance, and many times it has taken a lot of public pressure to hold them accountable, and invariably they have got off with a slap on the wrist. Our law enforcers are double-quick to take action when it involves the rakyat and the opposition. Why go far when the stark testimony is that of the MACC chief commissioner himself? Public pressure is mounting for action to be taken. If the number one man of the anti-corruption agency can't be trusted, who else can be trusted and who do the people turn to? And ironically, among the number of oversight bodies and its personnel that supervises the MACC, it has to take one man with integrity to resign to blow open this can of worms. If Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob continues to drag his feet on this elephant in the room, it is an endorsement of the general perception that the backdoor regime is no better than its tarnished anti-corruption entity. - More -
