Public misunderstands MACC, says Abu Kassim

-
Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Datuk Seri Abu Kassim Mohamed today said poor public perception remains one of the greatest challenges faced by the national anti-graft body.

He said Malaysians still viewed the MACC as a “tool” of the Umno's federal government that only went after “small fish” corruption cases.

We would like to urge Abu Kassim to prove all of us wrong. Do not just say that we are viewing the MACC and you in a wrong way. It was the MACC and you who are performing in a wrong way.

You mentioned that you are accountable to the parliament and so does the MACC, but you in most of your actions demonstrated that you are otherwise - answerable to the prime minister who is also the Umno president. The MACC does not act above politics and the government. The MACC is a tool of the ruling race-based elites in Putrajaya.

You have yet to resolve the mysterious death of an innocent man in the hands of your MACC officers till today. You are withholding a lots of evidence from this. How are you going convince the people that the MACC is clean, neutral and professional in discharging its duties and responsibilities?

We do not have to list all your misdeeds and wrongs. You already knew it. It is just that you are covering up from the public. It is no secret, it is an open secret.

As such, do not blame our people for the misunderstand in view.

EC should ask ROS to register Pakatan quickly

The Election Commission (EC) had recently advised the current opposition pact, Pakatan Rakyat comprising PAS, PKR and DAP, to register their coalition so that they could use their logo in the coming general election. EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said the coalition should be registered because the opposition parties were always seen violating regulations of the election campaign, especially on the use of their logo. Datuk Wan Ahmad seems to be overly ignorant and too forgetful on this issue. The EC deputy chairman should ask the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to quickly register the Pakatan instead of calling on Pakatan to register itself. Pakatan Rakyat had earlier send in their formal application to register itself as a coalition of political parties since November 2009 and ROS has yet to register the said entity till today after delaying and creating so many hassles for more than a year. It is not Pakatan who is delaying on its application but it was the ROS who is just...

USM fiasco a shame

-
I read and heard with irritation and felt disgusted with the fiasco committed by the apex status university called Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) which caused untold anguish to the affected students and their parents. If this happened in Japan, the Vice-Chancellor would have done the honourable thing - take full responsibilty and leave, but here in Malaysia, as expected, the blame is shifted here and there, trying to make someone a scapegoat. By the way, would there be any racist or sabotage elements involved? Those who are responsible for this fiasco should be sacked or expelled immediately.

Federal Constitution that Safeguards the Legitimate Rights and Interest of All Malaysians

The provisions of the Federal Constitution are very clear. It confirmed the position of the Malay Rulers, Islam as an official religion of the federation and special position of the Malays and the natives in Sabah and Sarawak whilst recalling that those provisions balance those special positions with safeguards to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the other communities in Malaysia which also includes their right to profess and practice their religions freely without being fear of any threats or being harmed by anybody. The legitimate interests of the non-Malays and non-Muslims would include, amongst others: a) Article 153 (9) says that business or trade cannot be solely reserved only for the Malays, b) Article 3 (1) says that the official religion of the federation is Islam BUT other religions are also allowed to be practiced in peace and harmony in any part of the federation. This means, the other communities too have their fundamental legitimate rights and interest here ...
