Corruption conviction rate against ikan yu – Indonesia 100% Malaysia 0% http://blog.limkitsiang.com
During the parliamentary debate during the committee stage of the 2010 budget on the Prime Minister’s Department, I compared Malaysia to Indonesia on the anti-corruption front.
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has declared that the war against corruption and fighting the “judicial mafia” would be a priority for his first 100 days of his second administration.
In Indonesia recently, there was a public movement and outcry in support of the country’s Corruption Eradication Commission or KPK (Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi) whose top officers and anti-corruption campaign were undermined and threatened by the “judicial mafia” comprising top officials in the police and the Attorney-General’s Chambers trying to protect the corrupt and those who abused their public positions and power.
If there is a public movement in Malaysia concerning the Malaysian Anti-Corruption (MACC), it will not be in support but in condemnation of MACC for its failure to make a dent on corruption and for lending itself to be the catspaw of Umno/Barisan Nasional in their campaign to destroy the Pakatan Rakyat.
What has the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak got to show on the anti-corruption front after his first seven months in office?
Parliament established MACC to replace the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) to declare war against corruption. MACC failed in its mandate and had instead gone all-out to declare war against Pakatan Rakyat on behalf of Barisan Nasional.
What is fatally lacking in Malaysia’s campaign against corruption is “political will”. There is simply no condition to mount a successful anti-corruption campaign in any country without political will.
Since its establishment in 2002, Indonesia’s KPK has a 100 per cent conviction rate and success in exposing and prosecuting the corrupt in high places, and among its trophies are top officers in government, police, the central bank, provincial governors and city mayors.
What is MACC’s conviction rate against ikan yus among the corrupt in Malaysia? Zero per cent!
Malaysia is not short of mega scandals, the latest being the RM12.5 billion Port Klang Free Zone scandal. Malaysia makes world record in having the most number of “heinous crimes” and mega scandals but without criminals – as not a single “big gun” had been brought to court and convicted for high crimes of corruption against the state despite all the cans of worms and swamps of crocodiles in the country!
This is why there is the report today of the latest survey of voters (Sept. 16 – Oct. 12) by Merdeka Centre commissioned by the Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ) which found that corruption and abuse of power are the most important problem which needs to be solved.
The survey showed a whopping 74 per cent of those polled dissatisfied with the government’s handling of corruption and abuse of power issues.
Among those polled, 52 per cent felt the country was headed in the right direction, while 47 per cent were of the opinion that Malaysia was headed in the wrong direction.
For those who felt the country was going in the wrong direction, political instability and graft were listed as the top reasons…
Ulasan: Apalah yang boleh diharapkan untuk BN/UMNO membenteraskan RASUAH dan PENYELEWENGAN di negara ini. Tidak mungkin. Rasuah sudah berakar umbi dan menjadi budaya mereka, di mana wang membeli kuasa untuk buat duit, berterusan seterusnya.
Comment: Can citizens expect BN/UMNO to eradicate CORRUPTION and ABUSE OF POWER in Malaysia? No way. The CORRUPTION has been deeply rooted as their culture where money buys power to make money, on and on.
