I want to support the chief of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in his “resolve” to make the anti-graft agency more respectable in combating corruption in the country.
However, I would like to comment on some of his statements.
First, one swallow does not a summer make. The arrest of a Tan Sri here and a Datuk Seri there does not signify that the MACC has become bold to “venture” into the turf of the rich and powerful.
I have seen enough of many agencies having the tendency to indulge in the “flash in the pan” syndrome. They do things to impress, not with the enduring objective to solve a problem at hand.
Efforts against corruption must be relentless, imminent and without fear or favour.
When too many perceive that the rich and powerful are being protected, usually it is because such a view has some semblance of truth to it.
To prove otherwise requires efforts more than arresting a Tan Sri or a Datuk Seri. A Tan Sri trying to broker a royal title is very different from other Tan Sris in charge of millions in government funds.
Persistence and being resolute are key to curbing corruption.
The rich and the powerful have become bold and blatant in their deviant ways because they perceive the likelihood of being hauled up, too slim.
