YOURSAY | 'Law enforcers are quick to jump into action when dealing with opposition lawmakers.'
Mosquitobrain: This is the funny side of Malaysian politics. Law enforcers are quick to jump into action when dealing with opposition lawmakers.
In this case, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is more than happy to entertain Sungai Besar Umno division chief Jamal Md Yunos.
Seputeh MP Teresa Kok should initiate legal action against Jamal if MACC fails to find proof of any misappropriation.
Fair&Just: Why didn't MACC raid Permata for not disclosing its spending of public money?
Vijay47: Most of us have no problem with the authorities carrying out due investigation where a police report has been made against an opposition member of parliament, in this case, Teresa Kok.
In fact, it would even offer her the chance to prove that whatever she has done was in accordance with law.
But what fills us with utter contempt is the repeatedly selective manner in which they have enforced the law.
We have yet to see them acting with similar enthusiasm when reports are made against favoured sons. Can we now expect them to execute the same scrutiny when reports are lodged regarding Umno leaders?
And here, I am not even talking about 1MDB where the whole world has been scrutinising that company's affairs and some of the officials abroad linked to the case have even been charged.
Secondly, should Kok be found innocent of all accusations, would they be charging Jamal for making a false report? Chances are, they will say further action is not necessary since no harm had been caused.
Prudent: I suggest Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali hold the Yayasan Warisan Anak Selangor (Yawas) disbursements immediately. It is an opportunity for corruption that is likely to involve elected representatives.
Yawas funds should be distributed through proper state government channels like the district offices. Such funds should be kept in a reimbursement account at the district office and topped up as and when required by the state treasury.
The district office must have set distribution criteria and documented procedures agreed with the state treasury and state audit office.
There will then be a clear audit trail to account for the disbursement of such funds and which the auditor-general can verify.
Part of the disbursement procedures from the Yawas fund can require the signature of the state representative of the constituency on the application form.
The money can then be distributed directly to the applicants. The money should not be disbursed through the hands of the state reps to the applicants.
Anonymous 2436471476414726: Yes, Azmin, it's time to review the procedures to disburse Yawas funds. The present arrangement may be subject to abuse.
Umno people will always look for any weakness in the Pakatan Harapan administration, no matter how small.
The hypocrites that they are, they do not see any problem with the RM2,600,000,000 that was wired to MO1's (Malaysian Official 1) bank account.
It pays to have procedures in place that are fool proof. No matter how noble your intentions are, your enemies will take any opportunity to make allegations.
When a report is from Umno, our government agencies will spring into action at the slightest nudge.
Bob The Builder: MACC should go and investigate the original overseas banking transaction documents on 1MDB, which 1MDB refused to provide to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC).
Why was there no action on that?
Mosquitobrain: Obviously, MACC is poor in mathematics. RM2.6 billion is too big a figure to count and investigate. They prefer to go after smaller figures.
Dont Just Talk: Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua, how would you expect the simple-minded kampung folks to understand the intricacies of the alleged 1MDB scam, with the complicated number of zeros behind it and the stories spun that 1MDB's debts have been fully paid?
Pakatan Harapan should go down to the ground level and enlighten the simple-minded rural folk that US$3.5 billion had been allegedly stolen from the Malaysian people, while Singapore has charged and jailed four private wealth managers and suspended the licence of two foreign banks.
From the lesson learnt during the 13th general election, the key to winning the 14th GE lies in the rural heartland. Otherwise, winning 51 percent of popular votes will not get Pakatan Harapan to Putrajaya.
Spinning: Company directors are required to table the company’s financial statements at the annual general meeting within six (6) months from the financial year-end.
Failure to lodge annual returns and financial statements is an offence, and if convicted, the company and its directors may be subjected to the penalties under sections 165 and 169 of the Companies Act 1965.
When will the directors of 1MDB be charged? 1MDB has yet to table the March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016 financial statements, or is 1MDB treated differently from other companies?
1Citizen: Yes, what we need is the latest set of audited accounts. Is it forthcoming?
Do we have to wait until after GE14, or perhaps even 2050?- Mkini
