PUTRAJAYA: Staff of the Home Ministry and
its agencies can forget about appealing if they are caught for
corruption and power abuse, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr
Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic).
Dr Zahid, who is Home Minister, said he will not entertain such requests nor will he protect them from the law.
While he would ensure that their welfare will be taken care of, he will not tolerate officers and staff who tarnish the ministry’s image and integrity.
“If you commit power abuse and get involved in corruption, you will have to face the consequences.

“If you commit power abuse and get involved in corruption, you will have to face the consequences.
“I will not condone such activities. I will
not protect you or hear any appeal that no action be taken against
corrupt personnel,” he said at the ministry’s monthly gathering
yesterday.
He said enforcement agencies must be “colour blind” when they take action against wrongdoers, adding that they must arrest anyone, whether “big or small” or even those among them.
The Deputy Prime Minister also commended departments and agencies for their achievements.
Among notable ones were the police’s success in curbing crime. Between January and April, only 86 crime incidents were recorded for every 100,000 people.
The initial target was to ensure there would not be more than 352 as per the ratio.
