The Antics of the MACC To Cover Up for A-G Gani Patail
Din Merican
Yesterday, the Chief Commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), Dato Sri Abu Kassim Mohamed, made a motherhood statement that news of their investigations should not be published. This is what he said:
“Ini adalah kerana kejayaan kita menyiasat sesuatu kes bergantung kepada kerahsiaan yang mana kita boleh mendapat keterangan-keterangan yang baik apabila tindak tanduk kita tidak diketahui umum.”

I am amused. Nay, I am repulsed by such outright lies by no less than the head of supposedly the most august law enforcement agency of the country – this Abu Kassim. I have previously likened Abu Kassim to Abu Jahal and Abu Lahab, the enemies of Islam who are specifically mentioned in the Quran. Abu
If the person breaks his vow to Allah, he should repent again and never despair of the blessing of Allah.
Kassim has earned the same odium because of his own vow, declared publicly that he would resign if cases against big fishes are not investigated by the MACC.
He made a vow (nazar) and he has broken that vow. He has broken that vow because despite all the expose’ made by Raja Petra Kamaruddin (PPK) of the A-G Gani’s complicity in covering up for Tajudin Ramli in the plundering of the national carrier, Malaysia Airlines (MAS), Abu Kassim has done nothing about it. He has feigned ignorance about it.
MACC Chief wants MAS to remove Rosli Dahlan and his Firm as Legal Counsel
What repulsed me most is that a commentator to my blog calling himself Kargoman had posted this:
Abu Kassim has given an ultimatum to the new MAS MD to drop Rosli and his firm from acting for MAS?
“Mr Din Merican, check this out. MACC has been visiting MASKargo and that Abu Kassim chap has given an ultimatum to the new MAS MD to drop Rosli and his firm from acting for MAS. They want to close the case and Rosli is a hindrance. Ask YB Salahuddin to demand Abu Kassim to explain:
a) if it is true that he met the MAS MD;
b) what did he ask MAS to do;
c) did he demand Rosli to be dropped ;
d) why is an enforcement agency dictating the choice of lawyer to a corporate body?

It is repulsive that Abu Kassim could arm twist a GLC to do its bidding. It is repulsive that instead of going after the real crooks, MACC is avoiding the duty entrusted to it and is instead eliminating people that can actually assist in uncovering crime and corruption.

MACC leaks Information to the Media
The point I wish to make is that in many cases, it is the MACC that leaks information to the press. It is the MACC that sensationalise news of the targets of their investigation. Yes, that is what the MACC does when it wants to eliminate the innocent or fix someone. Examples are aplenty.

Just look at the death of Teoh Beng Hock. What was that about? The main stream media quoted sources from the MACC about a massive investigation to crack down on corruption by elected state assemblymen – opposition state assemblymen! And what was the value of the alleged corruption? Just RM2,400.00? Yes, that miserable sum which cost a young man his life. The MACC went to town with it because the target was an opposition state government.

MACC’s elegant silence on Khir Toyo’s RM24 million place and its politics of deception and diversion
But did the MACC thoroughly investigate Khir Toyo’s RM 24 million palace? And when the spotlight turned on them for the murder of Teoh Beng Hock, suddenly the MACC demanded for fair and reasonable treatment and attempted to delay and black out the news. Unfortunately for the MACC, there are so many clowns in their top posts like that fat buffoon Dato’ Razak Musa, MACC’s Director of Prosecution, who demonstrated that one can die of self-strangulation!
