Call not to politicise MACC's 'aggressive' action

THE “aggressive” action taken by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is a positive move and should not be politicised, said a local non-governmental organisation leader.

Sabah Suluk Solidarity Council secretary Mohd Zaki Harry Susanto said MACC’s “aggressive” action was proof of its transparency as an independent body that was not bound to the agenda of any party with interests in an investigation.

“The public should support MACC’s efforts to combat corruption and abuse of power in the country, and they should not be influenced by any party that tries to cast doubts on MACC’s credibility.

“MACC is carrying out its duties in line with the law. Its aggressive action is not selective and should not be labelled as an attack on any party, especially the opposition in Sabah,” he told Bernama in Kota Kinabalu today.

Zaki was commenting on MACC’s investigation into the misuse of public funds for rural development projects in the state.

MACC has detained several people, who were previously connected to a ministry, to facilitate the probe. – Bernama, October 10, 2017.

  • Will fully agreed when MACC takes its responsibility and start showing some good arrest of the 1MDB debacle. To date not even one has been made to face charges whether it is small fries or the big robber. How to expect rakyat to applaud when it is " an unwarranted shove down to the throat" on all the so called selective and hollywood created aggressiveness of apprehending the corruption. More of a feel good factor just to thwart the humongus mother of all corrupptions and scandals in 1MDB. Save it lah please we are already immune to the low tier level of play act.
