Corrupt is corrupt, don't give lame excuses!

Umno MP and deputy finance minister Awang Adek Hussin has finally gave in to public pressure and admitted that he had indeed received cash contributions via his personal bank account but said the deposits were donations for some sort of social programmes in his constituency.

Come on, corrupt is corrupt. How can a donation mean for social programmes be bank into your personal bank account? Awang is formerly a banker and he should know very best that such practice is accounted for as being corrupt.

Can we tell Awang that in our area there are also some people who are really in need of monetary help, perhaps if you could also share those donation money with us by also having some of those cash deposited into our bank account. Please tell us if this is wrong or right.

And if that money is really for some kind of charity or donations or whatsoever as you claimed, then why not ask the donor to channel it straight into the bank accounts of those charity or welfare organizations or NGOs? Why has it got to go through your bank account first only then you will channel it to the others?

You as a former banker, can you tell us where is the transparency of this kind of money if it is banked straight into your account and you claimed it to be for some sort of social programmes or charity in your constituency? Are you able to convince the people with such lame excuses?

And don't tell us that you will then go to a mosque to seek for a "Sumpah Laknat" via the Holy Quran and then those deposits in your personal bank account will not be a corrupt transaction anymore, because "Allah s.w.t." has verified it.
