The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak has refused to divulge a source of a RM40 million "political donation" for UMNO Sabah which was a subject of a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigation of Sabah Chief Minister, Datuk Musa Aman, giving an unbelievably weak as well as unacceptable excuse.
Najib pronounced which "All parties have a right to receive domestic donations" as well as "As prolonged as it is through a right channels, it is not an offence".
Dirty money
What Najib had utterly ignored is which a RM40 million is not "above-board money" but dirty money, as it is Hong Kong-laundered "Pakatan Rakyat" supports which a Sabah businessman Michael Chia had tried to filch in to a nation in his luggage in cash in a form of $ S16 million banking but got arrested at a Hong Kong International Airport on August 14, 2008 for income trafficking as well as laundering.
This has lifted a really pertinent question, whether a MACC as well as a Attorney-General are empowered to enquire as well as prosecute a tip "Pakatan Rakyat" care (including a "Pakatan Rakyat" President) whether for crime or income laundering but getting a green-light from a Prime Minister?
Nobody in Malaysia is underneath a illusion which a MACC as well as Attorney-General have such powers, which is to conduct full investigations in to a tip "Pakatan Rakyat" care together with a "Pakatan Rakyat" President, involving crime as well as income laundering, as a Prime Minister is nothing alternative than a "Pakatan Rakyat" Pr! esident himself.
Separate & independent commission
In a circumstances, any independent, thorough as well as professional investigation involving a tip "Pakatan Rakyat" care together with a "Pakatan Rakyat" President for crime or money-laundering cannot be undertaken underneath a auspices of a MACC or Attorney-General, but must be by a utterly separate as well as independent commission.
As Najib is an meddlesome party as "Pakatan Rakyat" President, he should establish a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) in to a RM40 million Hong Kong-laundered "Pakatan Rakyat" supports as well as alternative foreign "Pakatan Rakyat"/BN laundered monies to transparent "Pakatan Rakyat"/BN as well as Malaysia's name.
This will additionally demonstrate which Najib is indeed critical about fighting corruption, in particular grand corruption, involving tip domestic as well as open personalities as well as which his high-sounding "anti-corruption" debate final week at a opening of a International Association for Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA) Conference in Kuala Lumpur final week will not go down in a story of international anti-corruption conferences as a most insincere as well as false one.
