Video can't prove claims of Election fraud, unless it involves Pakatan

'All MACC has to do, if it is really honest in its duty, is call these people up for investigations before it dismisses the allegation.'

'Video alone can't prove vote-buying claims'

Ferdtan: You can identify the people in the video, you know the location of the longhouse and you see the money.

All you have to do, if you are really honest in your duty, call these people up for investigations before you just dismiss the allegation off-hand. Don't expect others to do the investigation for the MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission): that's the job you are paid to do.

Ben Hor: Does the video alone at least allow for the case to be investigated?

There was definitely huge haste to 'investigate' when the alleged Anwar Ibrahim 'sex video' surfaced. Comparing the two, it's clear that the vote-buying is a far more serious matter than a private 'sex scandal'.

What say you now, Royal Malaysian Police and MACC?

Disgusted: If it was Pakatan Rakyat implicated in a video, there would be no need for any solid evidence, just heresay will do for an immediate investigation and to call up the alleged culprits for interrogation, just as in the case of Christians in Utusan Malaysia'sdespicable lie about Christians wanting to install a Christian PM and make Malaysia a Christian nation. Didn't the police quickly acted on that report?

There are two sets of laws in Malaysia: one for Umno, which is lawlessness and anarchy, and another for others.

Sandakan Hadenan: At least the MACC should pretend to investigate and then declare that all is above board. For more intelligent investigators, the video can be a starting point for further investigations.

MACC operations review panel chairperson Hadenan Abdul Jalil, in dismissing the video, while the sex video was investigated from all angles, appears to be under the control of BN/Umno.

Geronimo: "Anyone can act in a video. We can't only rely on (such recordings) because anybody can act" and "At the end of the day, a charge must (be backed with) strong evidence and (must be) in line with the law. We practise the principle of equality (to both the accused and accuser)."

With that, Umno can now drop the charges against Anwar over that nonsensical sex video sandiwara. Such deliberation by Hadenan Abdul Jalil should be applied across the board. What is good for the goose, has to be good for the gander.
My-Cat-is-BB: What is stronger evidence than a video recording? MACC, please explain. What type of evidence do you need to initiate the investigation?

Tamin BN assemblyperson Joseph Mauh Ikeh did not deny, let me repeat here, he did not deny that money was distributed to the longhouses. He called them 'saguhati' and transport allowance. You have the admission here, so please act.

GI Joe: Indirectly, the MACC is implying that Pakatan Rakyat had made the video to frame the Sarawak BN. I expected MACC would say that they are investigating and will act appropriately. It is unbelievable what they had just said.

Although it is possible that the video is not genuine, but shouldn't MACC try to contact the person who revealed the video and start questioning him. Identify the 'actors' and question them.

I assume it is difficult to identify these actors with their clothes on. Go get the help from those police officers who identified Anwar in the sex video.

Anonymous: If anyone acts in a video and maliciously slander other people, isn't it also a crime that you should investigate?

MACC's Hadenan makes it sound like all the commission does is to wait for evidence to drop on their laps. If you want to be good, you would have taken the initiative to contact the NGOs and what not. No witnesses and retraction of statements? Have you investigated why.

To ordinary citizens, all the MACC statistics are just useless numbers when it does not investigate Sarawak Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud and the Scorpene submarine deal.
