Malaysiakini : “It’s a question of political will. You keep all the tools you have with you to help keep you in power. And that’s when political will goes out the window.”
– Terence Gomez, political economy professor
COMMENT | The allegations of the plutocrat or criminal class colluding with the MACC for mutual benefit are as real as it gets here in Malaysia.
Mind you, I really would not call this a corporate mafia, but more accurately a disparate “criminal adjacent cabal” allegedly colluding with an institution that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim places much faith in.
For a Better World : The country has descended into some level of crisis, that could lead to serious problems. Hopefully wise political leadership will prevail and prevent us sinking into the abyss. Just examine these issues confronting us for last couple of weeks:
1.Illegal hindu temples issue has been resurrected.
2.Selangor facing a ban on pig farming
3.Bersatu breaking up ,with the two top leaders in conflict and dividing it .
4.MACC' s top man embroiled in questionable share dealings repeatedly.
5.MACC , being accused by Bloomberg business media group of being the " Industrial Mafia", Their explosive and shocking revelation is rattling the business community and investors, similar to the 1MDB saga expose by WSJ
6. And more significantly some MPs and leaders of DAP and PKR , participating in yesterday's Rally organized by Rafizi , a tough and constant critic and firebrand against the PM -Anwar Ibrahim and his present policies and handling of the recent.MACC debacle.
Even the ardent supporters of Anwar from the early days in the 2020s ie Ambiga and Surendran are now turning their guns against him . Well me , a lawyer in semi- retirement in the late seventies, and a strong supporter of AI in those early days of his struggle and black eye episode, too is gradually turning against him due to his handling of the above listed issues.
Read it all here......I hope better political leadership and good sense with smart moves prevails to overcome these issues facing all Malaysians at the moment
