MACC - Liar Liar Pant on Fire

SO what have you got to say, Mr. MACC

Ean Yong slams the MACC for shoddy investigation

By Neville Spykerman

SHAH ALAM, Aug 26 - Ean Yong Hian Wah today slammed the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for not doing their homework before making unsubstantiated graft claims at the Teoh Beng Hock inquest today

During a press conference today, Ean Yong gave reporters folders containing documents as well as before and after pictures of small projects carried out at his constituency which he claims proved the allegations raised by the MACC were unfounded.

The Selangor executive councillor said the documents and pictures are kept at the District Office.

The Selangor DAP chairman pointed out the MACC had raided the District Office and had seized all documents related to how he spent his state allocation for small projects at his Sri Kembangan Constituency.

According to him, the MACC had tendered in the coroner's court today four claims and quotation documents which were unsigned and not stamped, purportedly obtained from Teoh’s computer.

“I have never seen these documents before and they may have been drafts.”

Ean Yong said MACC senior enforcement officer Mohd Anuar Ismail had earlier testified that their investigations revealed the work was never carried out by the contractors involved.

The two claims are from Syarikat Aris and Fizami Construction while the quotations are from MKMN Enterprise and MA Bina Melor Enterprise.

“My lawyer Salim Basir had showed the same pictures, quotation and actual claims to Mohd Anuar during the inquest and he had admitted that he had never set eyes on the documents before.”

According to Ean Yong, upon being shown the evidence Mohd Anuar had to agree and admit to the coroner that the projects were actually completed.

“I want to ask MACC if they are really carrying out a serious, fair and professional investigation,” he said.

“Mohd Anuar, as the investigating officer, should have checked all the documents and pictures before making false allegations in the inquest.”

“This clearly shows that the MACC has a political agenda and are not only refusing to take responsibility for Teoh’s death but are attempting to tarnish the image of the DAP and Pakatan Rakyat.”

MACC Diirector frustrated, SO AM I

The MACC Chief is frustrated. I don't blame him as I myself am frustrated.

I am frustrated because the MACC has chosen to be selective.

So what can now MACC do?

Simple. Just do your job according to the law.

So what is the law? And what are the offences?

Simple.

(1) Khir Toyo's mansion that runs to millions
(2) PKFZ that literally ran to billions
(3) Buah Pala's 3.5 Million land deal
(4) and the many many more.

Now compare that to
(1) the late Teoh Beng Hock's death due to the so-called RM2,000 plus for constituency usage
(2) Hannah Yeoh's RM10,000 for constituency use
(3) Ronnie's aide Wong's RM200,000.00 for constituency projects

Now if MACC wishes to be independent, than make sure the first (1) to (4) be thoroughly iinvestigated and charged those idiots that embazzeled rakyat's money. Don't be an idiot MACC. Because the Rakyat is frustrated,

Director: Suspend probes involving politics

By LOURDES CHARLES

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) director of investigations has suggested that all investigations involving politics be suspended temporarily with immediate effect.

In a fit of frustration, Datuk Mohd Shukri Abdull said he felt that certain quarters were out to tarnish MACC’s image by making vicious and unfoun-ded allegations against the commission, especially against his officers.

“The very people who talk about wanting to fight corruption themselves are creating all the problems.

“Their action in barring their employees from assisting us or coming to the MACC office as well as announcing to the world their people are being investigated and highlighting them in the media is hampering our investigations,’’ he said.

Mohd Shukri claimed that whatever the MACC did was not right in the eyes of certain political parties who kept on accusing the MACC of conspiring with the Government or were being biased and selective in their investigation.

The latest trend of bringing in the media was very worrying as it put additional pressure on the witnesses or suspects, he said.

“When we arrest members from the ruling Government, including ministers, MPs, state assemblymen or businessmen, we don’t see them making a scene or creating a ruckus.”

His suggestion for a stop to all investigation on politically-related cases would mean that the probe on the Port Klang Free Zone controversy would be halted, too.

MACC deputy chief commissioner Datuk Abu Kassim Mohamed said he understood Mohd Shukri’s frustration.

He said investigating corruption cases required discreet and in-depth work and most importantly the cooperation of witnesses.

“We want to combat corruption and if law makers themselves start creating a scene and make unfounded allegations against us, including labelling us racists, then how are we to perform effectively?”

“Our job is to curb and combat corruption and we will continue to do so regardless of the allegations hurled against us.

“To me it is part and parcel of our daily job hazard and we will not let such allegations break or dampen our spirit as we have been entrusted to carry out our job professionally,” he added.

An MACC advisory panel member said it was working under intense pressure.

He said the MACC was under-staffed and under-equipped but overloaded with cases.
