ON JUNE 17, a Temerloh Sessions Court threw out an additional high-profile Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) case, thereby freeing a former Federal Territory Umno Youth leader, Mohamad Norza Zakaria.
The justice done a preference given 8 witnesses in a box were deemed uncooperative. The witnesses had given been charged with giving false justification during a trial of Norza as good as his agent Halimi Kamaruzzaman.
This is a ultimate in a array of gloomy performance by a inhabitant anti-graft agency. It does not auger good for a quarrel opposite crime as good as tarnishes a image of a commission as good as a Attorney General's Chamber.
Several debaters of this blog, had upon a series of occasions, indicted me of being soft upon corruption. Thats not true. Maybe we had not discussed a emanate often sufficient in this blog.
For a good of readers as good as debaters, allow me to reproduce an article we wrote in my Other Thots mainstay which appeared in a May 1, 2010 emanate of a Malaysian Business magazine.

I SHARE a sentiments of a DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng, who is additionally Penang Chief Minister, which a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has a lot to demand about a exculpation of dual former Perak PKR State Executive Council members as good as 3 others for corruption.
Lim was responding to a exculpation of a Behrang State Assemblyman Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi as good as his Changkat Jering compatriot, Mohd Osman Jailu by a Ipoh Sessions Court upon Apr. twenty-three but their defence being c! alled.
However, its available for Lim to omit a fact which a justice upon Apr 2 clear Wong Chuan How, a special military officer to its Selangor Executive Council Member, Ronnie Liu upon charges of submitting a falsified allocation form as good as invoice, but his defence being called, as good as 3 weeks after upon Apr twenty-one he was freed of a assign of rapist crack of certitude involving RM5,000.
The oppositions position with regards to justice cases is additionally predictable. When a courts ruled in foster of their members it was justice as good as fairness.
But when a same justice ruled opposite them, it was misapplication as good as unfairness.
The DAP as good as its Pakatan Rakyat allies did not have a huge bitch when a MACC privileged a BN Malacca Chief Minister, Datuk Mohd Ali Rustam, of crime allegations.
Thats only given a group additionally simultaneously privileged their Selangor Menteri Besar, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim, of identical allegations.
I think we should go a step further. We should demand which a MACC as good as a Attorney Generals Chamber demand why they failed to get philosophy for many of a high-profile crime as good as rapist crack of certitude (CBT) cases taken to court.
When these cases were taken to court, they were distinguished as watertight as good as a state was roughly certain to win. But so far, a cases taken to justice in a opening days of Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawis administration department had been thrown out.
But a exculpation of a some-more new cases does not auger good for a supposedly some-more absolute as good as independent MACC.
On Jun 27, 2007 a Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court found a late Tan Sri Eric Chia Eng Hock not guilty of CBT involving RM76.4mil, a box which done headline as good as a single which had supposedly taken a Anti-Corruption Agency, a MACCs predecessor, to faraway places similar to Japan as good as Switzerland.
In May 2009 a Kuala Lumpur High Court clear former Felcra directo! r-genera l Datuk Mustapa Juman of rapist crack of certitude involving RM40 million upon May 6, 7 as good as 9, 1997.
Then upon Aug 12, 2009, a former Land as good as Co-operative Development Minister, Tan Sri Kasitah Gaddam, was clear by a Kuala Lumpur High Court of charges of hurtful use as good as intrigue in 1996.
The justice additionally freed a former Selangor State Executive Councillor, Datuk Saidin Thamby, of a crime charge. He was charged with usurpation a RM1 million coupon as benefit from Nusantara Network Sdn Bhd for assisting it to acquire approval from a state executive council for a square of land.
There are many some-more crime as good as CBT cases involving comparison civil servants, top-ranking military officers as good as private zone management team which were thrown out by a court.
The some-more new acquittals of high-profiled crime as good as CBT cases do not auger good for a MACC as good as a AGs Chamber given a latter is supposed to wield larger energy as good as independence.
It has to be noted which nonetheless a MACC had been given wider energy as good as autonomy to examine crime cases, a charge continues to be conducted by a AGs Chamber.
Unless a MACC as good as a AGs Chamber are means to get a aloft conviction rate, a public should not be blamed if they once opposite lose certainty in a dual key agencies which are in a forefront in a quarrel opposite corruption.
