EAIC, prove you're not a toothless tiger first

VOXPOP 'Is the public wrong in perceiving the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission as a body that can investigate but can do little else?'

People don't trust us, laments EAIC

Abasir: EAIC (Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission)? Never heard of it.

With RM7 million, a couple of things could have been done. First gain massive street level publicity. I don't have to say how.

Second, understand the term ‘proactive investigation' by simply following up on online media reports regarding cases of abuse, etc, and drag a few crooks to court.

Again I don't have to say how (simply do what Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission does with opposition members).

Success will follow. But if EAIC continues doing what it likes to do, rather than what they have to do, it will be another 'dumno' organisation (like the Election Commission), living off the taxpayers' ringgit.

Anonymous #06500451: This is another tiger without teeth - big talk, but no power to take any action.

Rakyat Malaysia: And after investigation? Then what? If the police are found guilty, then what? What are its past results?

Go to MACC? Refer to the appropriate body only? Wow, what a great job. Investigate and then pass on to MACC, or some other relevant body, for action. Why can't MACC do the job themselves?

We have too many government agencies wasting taxpayers' money. Really, you expect us to trust you when you can't do anything else. That's Malaysia, a lot of people doing non-value-added work in the government.

Sarajun Hoda: EAIC is formed, maintained and paid by the BN government. So how to trust it? None of their agencies can be trusted.

By the way, the bulk of the complaints it has received are against the police. Okay. How have they been disposed?

The people must know if this agency has the capacity, power, willpower, clout and determination to act fairly, without fear and favour.

Swipenter: Almost every government agency and institution suffers from credibility problems in the eyes of the public. Whether this perception is correct or not is another matter.

As of now, this is how the public perceives EAIC. First, prove to us you are credible and can act without fear and favour. Then the public can give you their trust.

Alicescat: That's just it. We don't trust you. We can't tell if our complaints will be looked into with due consideration or we, the complainants, will be looked into by MACC or worse still, by PDRM (Royal Malaysian Police).

And if we, the complainants, were looked into by these agencies, it's most likely we and our families will be harassed. Sigh. - Malaysiakini
