Will MACC boss Abu Kassim step down?


Time as well as again MACC has shown it is unqualified of pursuit the shots in support justice as well as truth, withdrawal the people to hold the life is zero though the sham.
COMMENT
In annoy of Its dismal opening as well as battered image, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has 'caught the fancy' of the European Partners Against Corruption network (EPAC).
So taken in is EPAC president Martin Kreutner which he has described MACC as the single of the world's many respected, making you consternation usually how 'learned' Kreutner is of the 'actual' modus operandi of the MACC.
For one, MACC has the red blood of Teoh Beng Hock as well as Ahmad Sarbani Mohamed upon the hands; both Teoh as well as Ahmad Sarbani were found passed upon the drift of the MACC, with Teoh, the political aide to the DAP state assemblyman, found passed during the MACC domicile in Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam while Ahmad Sarbani, the Customs officer was found passed during the MACC bureau in Kuala Lumpur.
Both Teoh as well as Ahmad Sarbani had progressing incited up during the MACC for doubt as well as their deaths have left the rakyat wondering what purpose is MACC really essaying, i.e. which of fighting swindle or which of finishing off 'enemies' of the state as well as failing to residence issues of crime involving tip politicians or their family members?
MACC has additionally authorised itself to be manipulated by the sovereign government, leading to the former closing the eyes to cases of crime involving ministers as well as VIPs.
And still, Krutner cannot help though admire MACC for the pursuit 'wel! l done'. He additionally gives credit to MACC arch supervision official Abu Kassim Mohamed whom he pronounced was the single of the many recognized as well as venerable among anti-corruption experts as well as the ubiquitous community.
If indeed so, since afterwards has the crime index of this nation not seen any improvement? In Dec final year, the Transparency International Malaysia consult revealed which for the third consecutive year, Malaysia available the decrease in the Corruption Perception Index score, the 4.3 measure slightly lower than the 4.4 available in 2010 as well as most lower than the supervision benchmark of 4.9.
The ECAP president's reasons for heaping regard upon MACC have been groundless groundless during best, looking during the latter's lane record.
Just how Kreutner arrived during such conclusion is anyone's guess. What seems clear is which EPAC is either not worried or ignorant about the underhand tactics in use by MACC in the course of the investigation.
Does Kreutner know to what border the supervision of the day exerts the reason over it?
The rakyat is aware which as prolonged as MACC stays under the Prime Minister's Department, there will be no dearth of excuses where 'lack of evidence" is endangered in permitting successful individuals to shun being investigated.

MACC = Dismal
There is the single as well many proof of how the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission is conveniently manipulated by the authorities to cover for their hanky-pankies.
From the disaster to deliver justice in the Teoh Beng Hock box to using 'lack of evidence' as an excuse to tighten the files upon swindle charges opposite Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail, Crime Investigations Department senior manager Bakri Zinin, as well as former Inspector-General of Police Musa Hasan, MACC's opening is during most appropriate dismal.
The allegations of crime opposite Gani Pata! il, Bakr i as well as Musa were made by former Commercial Crime Investigations Department senior manager Ramli Yusoff, who filed the box two years ago.
Ramli has indicted Gani, Musa as well as the MACC of conspiring to disprove him as well as his men for impediment purported underworld figure Goh Cheng Poh, additionally known as "Tengku Goh".
The former CCID purported which the afterwards ACA, now known as the MACC, had relied upon the dubious impression to charge him with crime with resources value RM27 million when he was the military officer.
An puncture suit tabled by antithesis parliamentarians to set up the tribunal to hear the charges opposite Gani as well as Musa was deserted during the on-going sitting in the standard Barisan Nasional style with Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak in March this year rejecting calls for the tribunal, saying it was unsubstantiated allegations.
However, it was in July 2009 which the rakyat found out how inept MACC had become. Its credibility was tarnished after MACC's miserable attempts during soaking the hands off the debate surrounding Teoh's death.
An inquisition was hold as well as the coroner returned an open verdict though after most vigour the Royal Commission of Inquiry was set up to discern Teoh's death, which was in the finish personal as suicide, notwithstanding his family's firm belief which he was essentially murdered.

MACC's joining in doubt
Failure to deliver in the Teoh Beng Hock as well as Ahmad Sarbani cases as well as the convenient finish to the Gani, Bakri as well as Musa cases has left the rakyat unhappy as well as puzzled of the MACC's joining to quarrel corruption, in any case of the celebration involved.
Time as well as again MACC has shown it is unqualified of pursuit the shots in support justice as well as truth, withdrawal the people to hold the life is zero though the sham.
Indeed, if MACC is all about p! leasing the 'powers which be', afterwards since the claim which it is modelled after tip anti-corruption agencies, such as the Independent Commission Against Corruption (Hong Kong) as well as the Independent Commission Against Corruption (New South Wales, Australia).
When in July final year Najib "unceremoniously" deported French tellurian rights counsel William Bourdon, Suara Rakyat Malaysia or Suaram was convinced which the premier as well as his supervision have been "inextricably linked" with the Scorpene submarines crime scandal.
Bourdon was representing Suaram in the high-profile box filed opposite submarines' vendor DCN during the Parisian courts. (In 2002, Najib afterwards the Defence Minister, sanctioned the purchase of the Scorpene submarines amid accusations of sum over-pricing as well as kickbacks).
"It is the greatest mistake nonetheless by the Malaysian gvernment for it is an affront to diplomacy, to ubiquitous law as well as common decency. It was the totally arbitrary act by the Home Ministry as well as the sum abuse of senior manager energy of the Najib administration," Suaram Director Cynthia Gabriel retorted around the statement upon July 27, 4 days after Bourdon's deportation.
And MACC was usually as silent when the blogger, "The Whistleblower711" revealed which aides of Najib as well as his emissary Muhyiddin Yassin as well as the Deputy Minister were allegedly "bought" by the office worker to obtain contracts from the supervision as well as the agencies.
Deputy Finance Minister Awang Adek Hussin, who was implicated, claimed which his "conscience is clear" as well as the income received was not crime though instead for the good of the people of Bachok, where he is the UMNO multiplication chief.
Looks similar to MACC will never have the gumption to take the nation's hurtful politicians to charge notwithstanding the vigour entrance from the rakyat.

Earn the rakyat's trust
MACC has to work really tough to win the rakyat's certitude as the opening to illustrate distant speaks usually of manipulation, not of warding off graft.
When former MACC member Robert Phang demanded which Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Nazri Abdul Azi, be hauled up for purported abuse of energy as well as for "living over his means", did MACC have courage to do so? No!
Phang pronounced this was usually correct as Nazri had made statements which the supervision refused to examine Gani's purported abuse of energy in the number of cases.
Phang additionally pronounced the rakyat longed for to know how could Nazri's son equates to luxurious cars, the Porsche driven by him as well as the Toyota Vellfire by his bodyguards?
"Why did he need bodyguards? What commercial operation is he in? Are you seeing serve examples of 'Cowgate' among the families as well as sons of ministers who live in absolute luxury since the people have been told to be frugal as well as all the time reminded of taking flight inflation as well as high price of living?"
Phang afterwards pronounced the MACC should seriously demeanour in to whether Nazri's family members were living over their equates to or carrying surprising wealth, saying which all civil servants have been subjected to the MACC Act.
As predicted, MACC stays silent when it comes to behaving opposite hurtful politicians. The actuality which fledgling politician Zamil Ibrahim, the former Kita Kedah chief, has come the prolonged approach from his burger stall days to owning the Rolls Royce has nonetheless to rankle MACC. Is it since Zamil is the Barisan Nasional 'broker' indulging in MP-buying activities to ensure BN wins the entrance 13th ubiquitous election?
With such unscrupulous politicians still during large, does this meant which the July 31, 2010 pledge to renounce by Abu Kassim should any swindle reports not be investigated by his agency, including high-! profile cases involving supervision ministers will turn true?
