The word is that the Anti Corruption Agency is on the rampage. More immigration officers are expected to be picked up following the arrest of the department's director-general Datuk Wahid Md Don. Watch this space for more.

Hi Dato Wong. Since i got no easy way to give feedback to STAR, I guess i will use your blog to do it. The StarOnline site is really crawling. Can your MIS guy take a goof look at the problem? ot enough communication bandwidth? System overload??

If Badawi REALLY REALLY take the two years to strengthen and let loose the ACA, and really really crack down on the big fishes, then we will at least remember this good deed during his tenure to make up for all the other short comings. He could also scrap the ISA and OSA as part of his legacy for another good memory of him. But we will and see lah.

That's the way to go, Badawi. I wish he had started doing that when he first began as PM. He could have entered into Malaysian history as a real Mr Clean. Still, there are two years for him to repent. Clean it up well and put the big crooked big fishes in jail, we maybe he can even stay for another term!

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

Good Start!
Now, ACA, let's go get the rest of them:
1) How come there are so many Philipinos and Indonesians holding Malaysian ICs in Sabah? Go get those behind that scam.
2) Investigate the Scorpene and Sukhoi, and the Mongolian thingy and the big commission payout! Badawi, you do this one well,let justice prevail, and the rakyat may just vote you in for another term!!! If not this will be the rock tied around your neck.
3)Go investigate all the land scams and put the crooked politicians and cronies in prison.
4)Investigate the port klang fiasco.
5)..a lot more but start somewhere.

Way to go Badawi, but we need results also. Not enough if it is just investigation and reviews. Abolish ISA and OSA! Have real witness protection programs. You got two years to redeem your image. You do it , we will support you.

Jeyklls and Hydes in Malaysia. Are you?

Malaysians in dilemma? So many events and news both real and unreal. Don’t know who to believe? Bombarded with too much spins. These are the quotes, we now hear.

“Give up”, “Fed up”, “Wait and See”, “Lost interest”, “Headache”, “Cannot believe anyone”, “Who to believe ah?”, “Niamah”, “Pening kepala”, “Pening otak”, “Sudah lah”, “Pi mampus”, “Insyallah (God Willing)” or raise your palm and fist and put them together on National tv or www.Youtube.com or www.malaysiakini.com or www.Malaysia-today.net or other blogs.

Why? Because it depends on what you want to perceive and your bias toward your own race, color, religion, party, groups, interests, superiority or plain dumbness.

That makes you something of a Jeykll and Hyde if you can’t differentiate between facts and fictions, good and evil, right and wrong, true or false. Too many Malaysians can’t decide now whether to become Jeykll or whether to become Hyde or when to become Jeykll or when to become Hyde.

Think hard and search your conscience from deep within and “Viola” you can differenciate between Night from Day. Throw out bias towards race, creed, superiority, affiliations, religion and beliefs, greed, power, cronyism etc and then see whether some of the things happening around is right or wrong , true or false, evil or good, facts or fiction.

1. Altantuya was killed and blown to bits. (Fact or Fiction).
2. Sodomy is as evil as murder. (True or False).
3. Anyone accused are innocent until proven guilty. (True or False).
4. Statutory Declarations and Police reports can be made to fool people. (True/False).
5. Anyman or woman will swear on his religion or beliefs to save his own skin. (True/False).
6. Race superiority is needed to rule Malaysians. (Fact or Fiction).
7. Religious superiority is needed to rule Malaysians. (Fact or Fiction).
8. All poor people need to be helped by Government. (True or False).
9. Corruption is a fact of life and should be tolerated. (Fact or Fiction).
10. ISA is needed because prevention is better than cure. (Fact or Fiction).
11. Free education is a right for all Malaysian children. (True or False).
12. Free healthcare is a right of all Malaysians. (True/False).
13. Free speech is a right of all Malaysians. (True/False).
14. Freedom of religions and beliefs is a right of all Malaysians. (True/False).
15. Liberty is a right of all Malaysians. (True/False).
16. All Malaysians and the world can be converted to a single culture, religion, race in future. (Fact or Fiction).

To be continued……

The ACA shld also monitor and investigate those officers, big and small, at the Johor causeway and second link. Visit any singapore forums and one is bound to read many stories of visitors frm PRC and SG, having to pay kopi money for passport that did not have exit stamps etc.

Badawi, what have you got to lose with two years left? Go punish all those UMNO colleagues of yours who have been asking for you blood. Set the ACA free to hunt those corrupt fellows down and jail them for taking rakyat money. And that goes for even the ministers and deputy ministers, as well as their proxies, who have stolen rakyat money. Go for the big fishes. This is your last chance to redeem your image and have your revenge at the same time!!!

Dear PM, please do not stop at the Immigration only. Go after those in the education, mindef, tourism, etc, ALL ministries need to be cleaned up.
But we wait and see if you really mean it this time. Hopefully you can go a bit berserk now that you have annouced your retirement. The last remaining period of an outgoing CEO normally sees a change in behaviour.

Finally, that is all good and sundry.

I guess that AAB government will work fast now to persecute the persons. Dun la like Kasitah Gadam's case, till now just a showcase. Only mentioned when used to threatened Yong Teck Lee, otherwise another muddled affair with no conviction.

PM, what about the stupid motorcar APs? Isn't that a legalized corruption? Why should a few people be given APs (which is like money) to import vehicles? If you want to protect Proton, just impose the tax on imports, and let anybody who wish to import cars to just pay the tax. Why the "F" do you need APs except to enrich a few cronies who got the connections? What is the difference between a "legalized corruption" vs "illegal corruption" ? Full or B.S. and sandiwara.

Mmmm.. I wonder why they pick on ONLY the immigration team? Were they on the wrong team in umno? Why not the ministry of defence? Why not tourism officials? Why not Kastam?
Anyway, speaking of the leaky immigration dept, can the ACA go take a look at the Malaysia-Thai border. Everyday, streams of illegal immigrants are pouring in from Thailand (of many nationlities like Africans, Burmese, Bangladeshis, etc etc ). It is very easy to spot them. Only the blind government officials refuse to see the problem there.

Let's also spare a little sympathy for the poor illegal immigrants. They pay the human traffickers to help get them in here. They pay our immigration people to get in. They pay the police and the RELA people to look the other way when they are caught while in malaysia. They do jobs that malaysians don't want. They get underpaid. Sometimes they don't get paid. And if they become victims of crime, they dare not report to the police. They get looked down upon by malaysians. Now and then, they get rounded up, put in detention camps before they get shipped out. Only to go through the whole process to go back to work in the same place because the Malaysian employers could not fill up the vacancies with Malaysians. And you say, well why don't they apply officially to come here legally. Well using that rout, they have to pay through their noses to satisfy the huge amount of fees imposed by monopolistic agencies both in their own countries as well as the cronies in Malaysia ( they are legalised human traffickers). And these poor people could not come up with the cash to pay these cronies huge fees.

SPARE A HEART

hopefully something positive can come up from all these new developments.

Why is it always when there's a corruption sting or expose, only the person(s) receiving is/are named. The person or Datuks' giving are usually named much later or never at all.

Whether the newspapers do it intentionally or unintentionally ...we shall never know. Perhaps, another case of selective reporting??!!

"It takes two to tango"

Perhaps it's time to do a research as to the type of people giving bribes i.e. sex, occupation, race, religion etc.

These are still not he big sharks caught , nut only medium ones. Only talking about a few hundred thousand ringgit. We want those who take by the tens of millions.

Immigration top guns only ah. What about Customs top guns. There lagi bigger fish. That is why when Customs advertise for vacancies, there is a queue many miles long of people applying for a job there.

Also, nabbing is one thing, getting a real conviction is another. So far the government seems to be using a "catch and release" policy. Seems to be for show only.

The ACA and the Immigration Law Enforcement should begin unexpected raids in plain clothes rather than use their uniforms and raid. Those with information on such raids will inform the illegal immigrants to stay at home. There are many illegal immigrants from China and Africa who seem loiter around the Metro Prima Condominiums and Jusco Outlet in Kepong, Segambut, Damansara Aman Puri.Some africans are drug pushers. How did they enter Malaysia? Who approved thier visas? Who is the syndicate behind this?
