Cowgate: Is MACC blind to Corruption?
by Kim Quek@www.malaysiakini.com
COMMENT Many people may be wondering because a MACC cleared a hands off investigation in to a National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) liaison as well as upheld a buck to a Police. And now, Chief Commissioner of MACC Abu Kassim Mohamed gives us his answer.
Speaking to Sin Chew Daily reporters after an international discussion on December 14, Abu Kassim (right) explained which a censure MACC perceived pertained to abuse of a open loan, not abuse of authority; as well as hence, it is a case underneath a Criminal Procedure Act to be investigated by a Police, as well as not a crime case which falls underneath a office of MACC.
I presume Abu Kassim was referring to a censure on a use of part of a RM250 million supervision soft loan to squeeze luxurious condos as well as other personal properties by a family of Wanita UMNO arch as well as Minister of Women, Welfare as well as Community Development, Shahrizat Abdul Jalil.
But hasn't Abu Kassim been behaving rather amateurishly as a nation's top crime buster, akin to a proverbial blind men touching a elephant? Like an elephant, which is done up of most features, this NFC liaison is a multi-faceted beast which gobbles up vast quantities of open funds.
Project riddled with corruption
A major supervision plan was dubiously awarded to an incompetent as well as unqualified minister's family, for which a outrageous supervision soft loan was postulated as well as disbursed underneath rarely controversial circumstances.
This enabled a plan recipient to squander on crude purposes, ensuing in a plan disaster which not usually thwarted an critical food p! roductio n scheme, though also during risk a recovery of such open funds.
Needless to say, in such a scandalous plan failure, more than one minister, as well as more than one ministry's officials, could be incriminated in offences which ring corruption, collusion, breach of certitude as well as rapist loosening in a endowment of a plan as well as successive value of funds.
In this complete chain of rapist acts, a squeeze of condos is usually one couple not a most critical one. The bigger subject is: Why was a plan awarded to Shahrizat's family? Who decided it?
The next subject is: Who should be obliged for unwell to control a correct value of loans, as well as for unwell to guard a correct utilization of a funds?
On a initial question, a culprits during a forefront are benefaction as well as past ministers of cultivation as well as agro-based industries (Noh Omar, Mustapa Mohamed as well as Muhyiddin Yassin ), as well as benefaction as well as past ministers of finance (Najib Abdul Razak as well as Abdullah Ahmad Badawi), for having been endangered in a endowment of plan as well as successive value of funds.
Profitable domestic handshake?
Apart from these strong culprits during a protocol level, what about possible behind-the-scene domestic machinations linked to a project?
Readers will stop which Shahrizat was engaged in a heated contest for Wanita UMNO arch opposite her predecessor Rafidah Aziz in a final UMNO celebration election as well as succeeded in ousting a latter which most observers believed as fulfilling a wishes of a top celebration leadership.
Under a circumstances, it may not be wholly far-fetched to ask either there was any couple between this RM250 million plan as well as Shahrizat's (left) successful mission to oust Rafidah.
This is an aspect which no consci! entious questioner should disremember in a probe in to a scandal.
On a second subject of value of loans which resulted in a splurging of supports for crude purposes, both a cultivation as well as finance ministries cannot possibly shirk their responsibility, as it is underneath their corner inspection as well as approval which each value was made.
For which reason, a dual ministers, as well as a officials endangered from a dual ministries, have to be probed.
With such abundance of hurtful activities starting on during a domestic care turn as well as a administrative level, can we suppose our MACC revelation us which there is nothing it can do per a scandal?
Can we suppose Abu Kassim revelation Sin Chew reporters which a complaint with a people is which they do not understand a law as well as cannot heed white from black, as well as which they simply tango with a opposition to reject MACC?
Abu Kassim serve said: "Our greatest complaint is how to change people's mindset as well as how to convince them which MACC is independent.Under a benefaction domestic atmosphere, crime is politicised as well as MACC's alleged miss of independence is used to disintegrate a government".
Treating people similar to fools
Hearing such comments, one can't assistance feeling which Abu Kassim has taken a people for ignorant fools.If MACC is independent, can Abu Kassim discuss it us because there has been no reply whatsoever over a mountains of justification as well as countless reports lodged with it over a right away world famous timber nobleman of Sarawak, Taib Mahmud, a arch minister?
A Sarawak NGO called Movement for Change Sarawak (MoCS) submitted a two-inch thick inform in March, documenting Taib Mahmud's crime no reply to date.
Sarawakian Willie Kajan submitted his second inform by travelling all a approach to Putrajaya in January no response. Sarawakians James Wong as well as John Brian submitte! d their reports in June as well as August 2010 during Shah Alam as well as Putrajaya respectively no response.
Many others, together with domestic celebration leaders, have also lodged their reports with a MACC, to be met with a same fate. As for a current NFC scandal, because is Abu Kassim behaving similar to a blind man, preoccupied to a swirling debate which has unprotected saturated justification of crime as well as abuse of power by countless press conferences as well as Internet postings over a final dual months?
Why is it which Abu Kassim can't see a word "corruption" when it is staring during him from all directions? We understand because Abu Kassim (and a MACC underneath him) is behaving a approach he does, though during least spare a people a insult of treating them similar to fools.
