It is sad that MACC continues to scrutinise high profile politicians from the Pakatan Rakyat alone. On the other hand, Barisan’s transgressions are often overlooked.
Najib’s promise to wrest Selangor from PR in whatever way possible rings clear. Perhaps this is one way to paint a picture of corruption to hoodwink the general public into believing that PR is inept at administering the country. The threat of PR winning the next general election is surely the top worry of Barisan at this moment. Any opportunity to discredit the PR representative will surely be fully utilised.
I have said it many times before and will say it again. The Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission will not have any credibility so long as it remains under the purview of the Prime Minister’s Department and the head elected by the ruling Government itself. Any attempts by the MACC to come clean will be negated by its role within the Prime Minister’s Department.
Despite calls to have a more transparent and dependable anticorruption force, Barisan has apart from changing the name Anti Corruption Agency to its current one, has failed to assure the general public that they are serious in tackling corruption.
For decades now, our wealth has been siphoned by individuals with ties to the powerful elite. What we could have done with the money is much, so much more than what Malaysia has achieved to date. We have fallen by the wayside as countries which were previously not in the same league are now leapfrogging us.
I say it is time to stop the rot!! Enough is enough!
