Ex-IGP's allegations ought to be probed

-
Recently, the former Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Musa Hasan had alleged that there are a lots of political interference  and criminal elements within the police force during his tenure.

According to Musa, political interference include direct instructions were given by the Home Minister as well as the other cabinet ministers, while criminal elements include those crime bosses who had close connections with top political leaders and would go straight to the political channels whenever their henchmen got arrested or detained.

If Musa's claims are true, then the Home Minister ought to give an explanation onto all these allegations as it came from a retired top police official. How come Hishammuddin Hussein is still so quiet on this issue. So does the Prime Minister.

What about the current high command of the police force? Why are they also keeping so quiet on this? Are all these top people up there quietly admitting that there are really such thing happening in the police force and they did not even dare to deny the allegations for fear of more evidence would come up if the argument intensify in public.

This means political interference and criminal elements in the police force also warrants a thorough investigation from the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) as it is certain that corrupt practices are sure to exist in such situation. So, why isn't the MACC taking any action on those information? Because it was not reported, and that is why an investigation file could not be opened in order to proceed with the probe? Why can't the MACC act based on a serious information which has been made public?

And this is where the proposed Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) should come in to address such issues or highlight as all these involves public interests and the people ought to know what is going on as well. If the police force and its officials are proven to have been misbehave or commit any misconduct in their office, an independent body like the IPCMC ought to be set up to investigate all such negative elements in order to ensure the integrity and professionalism of the police force are maintained at all times.

We all know that the public perception on the police force has been extremely negative and if the BN government keep on insisting that the IPCMC is not necessary, then one day, nobody will even trust the police nor respect the law. Then when the society become lawless because of all these, is the BN government going to push all the blame onto the Opposition?

If the BN government cannot reform or make improvements on the police force, then we should consider an alternative channel in order to save our country from any future instability or chaos.

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.

Singapore Malay daily teaches Mahathir about hardwork

The former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's assumption that Malays in Singapore had failed and their neighbouring Malays should take lesson from their plight has not impressed a Singaporean daily. The republic's Malay daily Berita Harian in an editorial said Malay-Muslims in the republic state were successful and it was a result of their real efforts and hard work in line with the values of meritocracy, not a result of being spoon-fed. “We do not believe in being spoon-fed or being too dependent on the government - in other words, we do not have a crutch mentality,' wrote editor Guntor Sadali. Guntor said Singapore Malays believed that a community with such a mentality would soon become a “two M” community, which stands for ‘manja’ (spoilt), and ‘malas’ (lazy). “We definitely do not want to be labelled as a pampered and lazy community,” he said, adding that the Malay community in the island raised their own funds to build Islamic schools, mosques and other community pro...
