Only 4 BN leaders fail MACC's test?

VOXPOP 'MACC should be doing its real job of charging the corrupt, not rubber-stamping candidates for a political party.'

Four BN top guns fail MACC's GE screening
Ferdtan: Please tell us which camps were these top four big guns who failed the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's (MACC) GE screening?

Are they from PM Najib Razak's, DPM Muhyiddin Yassin's or Dr Mahathir Mohamad's camp? There is always a political reason when MACC steps in.

Whichever camp they are from, sparks are going to fly. If these leaders are from Umno, we know for sure it would be a time bomb; they will only quit over their dead bodies.

Too much is at stake for them - without power, there will be no millions or billions worth of contracts to be gained. Moreover, it is a clear case of abuse of power, making use of a public institution like MACC for BN's private agenda.

SteveOh*: MACC should be doing its real job of charging the corrupt, not rubber-stamping candidates for a political party. You wonder if those they failed in the screening had been justly judged.

As I understand, the MACC did not pass the test of integrity itself in the Teoh Beng Hock case and in light of allegations of corruption by watchdog groups Suaram and Sarawak Report and opposition politicians and former top cops and public servants.

Until the MACC has passed the integrity test itself, one wonders if it should be screening anyone.

Slumdog: Every Umno-BN politician is tainted, but MACC can only find four who have problems with the law.

No fair-minded Malaysian will give any credence to anything MACC says or does. They are incompetent and an abject failure as a corruption-fighting body.

Two innocent people under their custody have died under mysterious circumstances with none of their officers made accountable. They never investigate any Umno-linked politician or any of their cronies despite mounting evidence of major corruption against many.

So how can anybody trust MACC to do an independent or impartial assessment of Umno-BN candidates?

OMG!!: Please elaborate, the four fail what test? If they failed the test, does it mean that they should not only be dropped as candidates but should also be prosecuted?

In any event, why are they not stripped of their party and government positions immediately? It only goes to show that Umno is not transformed and does not have the guts to transform.

Changeagent: There are so many strongmen and warlords in BN - every federal minister, menteri besar and chief minister is one. I doubt if BN has the resolve or moral conviction to drop any of its top guns from contesting in the next general election, let alone four.

Sinner: You must be kidding. You mean there are people from Umno who actually passed the test? - Malaysiakini

Malay : If the vetting by MACC was done correctly, 99% of UMNO/BN candidates will FAIL and will not be able to contest in the GE13. Just 4 is really ridiculous???? Is UMNO/BN and MACC taking Malaysians to be that STUPID!!!!!
