Prime Minister Dato Seri Najib as well as his Government contingency be congratulated for a innovative brand brand new initiatives to carry out Political Funding ,which obviously contingency be checked .
This major preference is many timely as a brand brand new manners upon domestic appropriation could right away be practical well before a 13th General Elections which will be held soon as well as so a preference is all a more welcome .
Political Funding has since climb to a ugly practice of Money Politics which is widely regarded as a Mother of Corruption. Any carry out upon Political Funding thus will go a long approach to quell crime not usually in a domestic arena, though via a system.
There contingency be supportive measures as well
However it contingency be recognised which these brand brand new initiatives can be unerring by other measures , such as giving money donations to particular candidates upon a guarantee of contracts as well as favours which could be since as rewarded to donors later after a domestic party or candidate wins a election.
Hence this great move has to be supported by other measures , such as a following , to have a brand brand new manners really work effectively .
Firstly , a manners governing Election Expenditure contingency not usually be tightened , though conscientiously enforced. There is no indicate recording donations to a domestic parties as well as giving receipts for them , if contributions have been supposing in kind , such as in a form of banners as well as bunting as ! well as dinners as well as gifts as well as even money grants to a voters !
Secondly, Political leaders in Government , either at Federal or State turn as well as also other elected officials have been in their powerful as well as highly successful positions because of a domestic choosing process. Hence any wealth which they amass due as well ill gotten gains contingency be scrutinised as well as done under obligation to a rayaat , whom they have been to serve dutifully as well as honestly.
Thus a Government's receptive to advice preference which a Macc Chief Commissioner will right away be arcane to a Statutory Declaration of resources of a members of a administration , is again many gratifying as well as worthy .
Here again you hope which resources impute to Nett Assets , which is together with Liabilities as well ! There is a need to ensure which a domestic candidate does not borrow vast sums for electioneering purposes though does not pay it behind to a domestic funder !
Applied at all levels
Furthermore it is imperative which these brand brand new commendable anti crime measures pertaining to both domestic donations as well as asset declarations , have been practical to all elected officials at all levels of Government all over a nation .
While brand brand new policies as well as manners as well as regulations have been always utilitarian , a real exam of a pudding is in a eating. . So a Macc right away armed with brand brand new powers as well as even with a guarantee of a higher status for a Chief Commissioner as well as larger resources , will be expected by a open to turn much more successful in combating crime in a country.
With these great measures in force , a Macc performance as well as formula have to improve significantly. Otherwise a rayaat will turn even more undone with a destructive widespread of crime which has been eroding a clarity of well being as well as confidence in a destin! y !
On a part , you have to give all a full support to a Macc which you expect to turn more active in a fight against crime as well as Money Politics - without fright or favour.
