MACC only netting small fry
AFTER reading today’s newspaper on the action taken by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on six small-time politicians, I was left with more questions than answers.
The total amount of money in question put together is nothing compared with the Port Klang Free Trade Zone scandal, the mini-palace in Klang scandal, the sand-mining scandal in Johor, the Lingam tape scandal, the RM24mil mansion of the former Selangor Mentri Besar, and many others which are more serious.
It is good that the MACC is doing its job. It said it had cast its net far and wide, but so far it has only managed to catch the small fish.
The bigger ones always seem to escape the MACC’s net. I should also not be too happy because the track record of the MACC in getting a conviction is bad.
The MACC must do more than this if it wants to gain the people’s confidence.
