Another ADNA: gates open for VVIP with similar load?

YOUR OPINION | “This regime is not substantially different from the kleptocracy that we know.”

The country will pay the price of the deals behind the scenes – Credit Suisse

Kim Quek: From the very weak and vague ground given by the Attorney General (AG) to acquit former Minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor (Ku Nan), any fool can smell the lack of this audacious raid against our justice system and the rule of law.

From the moment it coincided with the Perak crisis, one cannot help but think that this could be a desperate act of quid pro quo on the part of this reeling regime to prevent an imminent downfall.

If this regime can get away with such “daylight robbery” against our justice system with impunity, which is the third case of its kind, it can open the floodgates to free many other similar VVIP criminals already tied up by our legal network. And that will be a disaster for the country.

It shows how urgent it is that this wobbly backdoor steering must be replaced before it causes more damage.

EM: The deliberate dismantling of all checks and balances during the decades after Dr. Mahathir Mohamad’s rise to power, plus the politicization of all critical functions, a prominent feature of the ‘politik melayu’, is the root cause of the regimes. of smugglers and wheels we deal with.

Nothing is sacred anymore; everything can be sacrificed at the altar of convenience. That is why this regime is not substantially different from the kleptocracy that we know.

The worst thing about the situation the country is in is that the decline will be slow and steady, a slow and prolonged and painful death in ways that have yet to be experienced.

Appum: We need more (Credit Suisse Malaysia Managing Director and Equity Director) Stephen Haggers to speak loudly our self-inflicted wounds.

But still, the government thinks that it can attract large FDI (foreign direct investment). They believe that the outside world is ignorant of what is happening here.

Yes, foreigners always think Malaysians are very nice people like Thais. But when it comes to politicians and approval authorities, they have a different perspective. You only need a verdict like this to ruin our competitive advantage over other countries.

But who cares? As far as politicians are concerned, this is not the case. What does a Fitch Ratings downgrades What does it mean for country people or even urbanites? They just don’t understand those kinds of implications. They only understand, and are fooled, by the lies their leaders tell them.

B Lee: Finally, someone dared to say it out loud so that the whole world knows that this country is run by a government that indulges in secret deals.

Jaycee: In fact, these government officials don’t care as long as their pockets are continually full. His greed is insatiable and it is never enough.

And why do you think they continue to hold on to and cling to power? To serve the people? The country can get a BBB + rating from Fitch and this is not going to bother them.

This corruption has been going on for over 60 years and few corrupt officials have been jailed. And when they leave the position, they will prepare their children to run as candidates and continue the looting.

Oriole: Yes, we now have international agencies that mark Malaysia as a ‘failed state’. Malaysians must pay the price so that some rich in power can continue to enjoy wealth and power.

It is better that all the ‘macais’ and cybercriminals who support this shoddy regime know that these men are depriving future generations of a decent lifestyle.

They play with your race and religion to keep you in feudal gratitude towards them as they steal from you and your children. Keep licking their boots as they keep you in perpetual bondage.

Mohd Bakri 3: From A- to BBB + is just one level, so for some, this is not a big deal because, as they say, the ends justify the means. This degradation is the end and the means were that some were rewarded along the way.

Malaysian Bulldog: Surely, the Attorney General must answer for this flagrant disregard for respecting the law. So, is the one who gives the bribe guilty but the supposed recipient is not?

FlabberPro: We can all see the serious consequences of the corruption that has befallen our country.

Sadly, our host of politicians are not there to rescue the country from continuing to plummet. They seem to hold their position to satisfy their lust for power, wealth, and status.

Talk about the suffering of the rakyat, you only get muslim preacher Ebit Lew walking doing what is noble, regardless of race, religion and age.

Our politicians are only there to get rich. Some are not even qualified for the job. In fact, the country will pay, if not already.

Hrrmph: Someone must tell the Finance Minister that his economic stimulus measures will not work because he is not addressing the issue that is dragging our economy.

If there is a boil in the lower regions, applying ointment on the arms and legs does not cure that boil.

2,607 officials arrested for corruption since 2015, says MACC

PW Cheng: A total of 2,607 officials were arrested for corrupt practices from 2015 to October this year, reported the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

Five years and 2,607 arrested for corruption: this translates to an average of 521 per year or 0.000326% of the 1.6 million civil servants, not counting DBKL (Kuala Lumpur City Council) and municipalities. This is ridiculous.

Freethinker: It’s also not just about how many people you arrest, but how many you actually prosecute and jail / fine for the crime.

Oriole: Hello, there are no surprises here. Read PAC (Public Accounts Committee) reports year after year for decades on questionable public sector spending. But after the reports, there are no more actions.

So this is just another story. The public will rage for a while and then the story is gone, and all the criminals happily return to loot the public coffers.

MACC, the fish rots on the head. How about starting by making sure the highest offices in the country are clean first?

Watching Putrajaya leaders and former leaders get away with corruption involving large sums of money will only inspire copycat behavior in local government and councils. What are you doing to ensure justice is served there first?
