Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief commissioner Dzulkifli Ahmad was rebuked by the prime minister for criticising the establishment of the Integrity and Good Governance Department. – The Malaysian Insight pic by Seth Akmal, October 2, 2017.

TOP graft-buster Dzulkifli Ahmad can be proud of the higher cash seizures, more arrests and prosecution in his first year of running the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) but that success could cost him his job.

There is growing disquiet within Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) over Dzulkifli’s zest and apparent eagerness to nab those allegedly accepting bribes or involved in corrupt practices, especially government politicians.

  • “Some Umno Supreme Council members are concerned that Dzulkifli is going for the small fries and cases not worth mentioning, especially those allegedly involving their aides,” - ........... if even going only after "ikan bilis" puts his job at risk ............. implies .......... Malaysia is truly BEYOND SAVING .... the most corrupted government/country on the planet ... !!!!

  • So at the Supreme Council meeting the comment was Dzulkifli wrong is "going after the small fries"??? Why are the top leaders of UMNO concern about "going after the small fries"??? They want MACC to go after them? Makes no sense. It sounds more like UMNO leaders are sending a signal to Najib they are not happy WITH HIM....

  • Credit must be given to Dzulkifli for good job done, despite many restrictions. The opposition leaders should applaud his effort to rub salt on UMNO and BN morons.
