IGP’s Instanbul trip reveals a bigger problem about to explode
“In private, Mat Sabu has been expressing his reservations on Azmin for many years. Azmin shunned Mat Sabu in his later years as Selangor MB. His refusal to remove PAS from Selangor’s Pakatan Rakyat government remained a sore point for the Amanah president”
Another Brick in the Wall
The Istanbul trip by IGP, Tan Sri Fuzi Harun was exposed by Sarawak Report to be an office holiday trip, but it was a working visit arranged by National Totalisator Board (NTB) on matters regarding online illegal gambling.
As soon as the story broke out, unqualified Accountant and failed Economist Lim Guan Eng sprang into defensive mode. Whether he is telling the truth or usually lying, he told MMO that Treasury did not pay for it and claimed Ananda Krishnan’s number forecasting Da Ma Cai operation paid the trip.
What he is saying is Treasury refused to pay for the trip and he requested NTB to arrange Da Ma Cai to sponsor. Sabahkini2 has similar view. As one owner of a gambling license said, a Minister’s request is as good as an order and they will have to secede.
Dato Dr Asyraff Wajidi was angered by Guan Eng’s insensitivity. However, there is political implication behind the facade of a typical Guan Eng’s lack of familiarity with proper administrative practise.
Blogger Flying Kick see it as DAP’s first salvo against Tun Dr Mahathir for turning on his word and accept 7 UMNO MPs into PPBM.
Putting Ananda’s company in the spotlight is symbolic.
It is an open secret that illegal gambling operators in Selangor are protected by DAP. Police raids are ineffective without cooperation from DAP state exco-in-charge of local council to withdraw business operating license.
More so, DAP also has more than a half century of history with the police and Special Branch Officers such as Fuzi Harun.
Rumour within police force is the next IGP could still be from Special Branch. Something Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Lim Kit Siang will not be pleased!
