OCT fourteen you have no thought how MACC arch Abu Kassim Mohamed could have come up with such an arbitrary conclusion which crime is not critical in Malaysia.
During a forum at USM Penang, he distributed questionnaires to a little 300 USM students as well as lecturers as well as found which usually about 5 per cent had come opposite acts of crime or bribery, as a result a reduction which a open notice of critical crime was baseless.
The survey carried out at a forum could not have been correct given which a attendees were all open servants who would not wish to provoke a supervision agency.
Perhaps a MACC should attend to what typical people in a travel have to contend in sequence to get a more correct picture of a astringency of crime in this country.
The objects of more aged cited by Abu Kassim were also inappropriate. He said usually 9 out of 100 Malaysians had come opposite acts of crime as well as bribery, far improved than a 5 in 10 Vietnamese or 8 in 10 Cambodians.
If Malaysia were to eventually join a league of developed nations by 2020, it should review itself alongside New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Switzerland or Sweden, not underdeveloped countries.
What worries me more is which MACC officers will tend to let up in their bid to conflict crime if a group is delighted which a crime problem is not critical in Malaysia.
If crime is not serious, why upgrade a ACA to MACC as well as expand a manpower by 5,000?
If crime is not serious, why do you have an Australian office worker bribing Malaysian officers to secure a RM134 million stipulate to print a bank notes, ensuing in a former Bank Negara assistant administrator being charged with usurpation RM100,000 in bribes?
In a document published late final year, a US federal district justice said a agents and/or subsidiaries of Alcatel-Lucent SA were allegedly involved in a US$ 8 million (RM24.8 million) fraud to though delay or in a roundabout approach bribe supervision offi! cials of a little countries, including Malaysia, ensuing in a belated review by a MACC as well as a successive indictment of a former Alcatel-Lucent executive in Malaysia for offering RM25,000 in bribes to a Telekom employee.
I consternation whether crime is unequivocally not critical in this country, or only since you have been not capable of phenomenon a own unwashed acts though a little hints from outsiders.
The PKFZ scandal was brought to justice after more than a decade. Could it be not critical or only since you have been grossly inefficient?
In addition, a Auditor-General's reports would divulge countless irregularities on a yearly basis, though no movement has been seen from a MACC.
With a fatal tumble of a Customs officer, a investigations into a RM100 billion taxation evasion have also died a beforehand death.
Instead of sketch a conclusion which crime is not critical in this country, you would suggest which MACC put in a little bid to enhance a level of professionalism of a own officers.
The royal commission of exploration has singled out 3 MACC officers to take shortcoming for Teoh Beng Hock's death, though will a anti-corruption physique charge them?
Besides, a involvement of 3 MACC officers in a US$ 300,000 robbery of a money changer has also put a nation to shame.
Just as Malaysian Institute of Integrity president Datuk Dr Mohd Tap Salleh has said, a nation suffers tremendously from malpractices as well as abuse of power.
We still have a long approach to go as well as there should be no let-up in a bid to conflict corruption. mysinchew.com
