He's afraid. In the past the ACA investigates the reportee instead of the suspect. And in the past the reportee ends being charged. Another project BN.

When i read this article in the newspaper two days ago, i'm appalled by this idiot. For a normal person, not report such crime is 'acceptable' but considering he is a representative of the people, and he clearly stated that he had proof to the public BUT do not wish to report such crime. What does this reflect, Jeff? That he encourage such crime? That he encourage the public not to report such crime if they have solid proof? Is this the role a politician should play? If Pak Lah is okay for his members to not report such crime, that means Pak Lah is also not going to report such crime if he have proof of such crime, right? And yet our PM can happily go holidays...Hello...please wake up!

ACA reports to the PM's Dept.

Fopr many, many years, during the long 22 years of Dr M's era, many serious questions were asked.

Telekoms shares allocation to MIC. Rafidah's allocation of shares to her own family members. Matrade. And many more.

But no one has been prosecuted for them.

Were the ministers and cronies clean of any wrong-doing? Was there no evidence of the wrong-doing which had taken place? Was there any directives from 'pihak atasan'?

Who knows that the truth is.

But I recall that when some ministers started getting vocal about a certain incident - Rafidah allocating shares to her son-in-law if I am not mistaken - she asked the ministers at a meeting (Cabinet meeting?) something like whether she should open her files and list out the allocations they or their family members receieved. The incident was reported in the mainstream press, no less.

Then, all quiet. Diam sahaja. Deafening silence. Not a peep from any of the ministers who had been shooting missiles at her.

What would your inference be?

JEFF OOI says: Not learning from history is suicidal. Mahathir has contributed 22 years of the good, the bad and the ugly to Malaysian history. I hope Abdullah should not repeat the mistakes of the past but what I see is a matter of changing of shifts of guards who essentially don the same uniform. And their appetites has gone several notches up.

"Abdullah should not repeat the mistakes of the past?"

AMEN! As I have often staed before, Pak Lah still has my support and confidence. But there have been some moves by him which I cannot agree with.

While the fact that I do not agree with the PM may only amount to me being much less of a leader than him - less wise, less well-informed, less brainy, etc - there are some moves which may come back to haunt him, just like so many of Dr M's moves are now coming back to haunt him, BIG time.

And it is especially so in the realm of "matter of changing of shifts of guards who essentially don the same uniform. And their appetites has gone several notches up".

To focus on one major point of concern, to put it bluntly, people are pointing fingers at the son-in-law Khairy the same way they used to point their fingers at Dr M's sons, and the way juicy deals went their way (despite Dr M seeming to have selectively foprgotten about such happenings).

Again I repeat what I have said before - Khairy has every right to seek his fortune, but he is the PM's son-in-law, and any mud which sticks to him will also smear Pak Lah.

Pak Lah should take extra steps to be seen to be clean, not just claim to be so.

Ditto for the son-in-law.

There have been growing rumblings that nowadays, the buayas' "appetites has gone several notches up" compared to Dr M's days.

And the some of the ever practical Chinese have also talked about how much easier it was to make money in Dr M's days. (Never mind that the easy money was at the expense of our future generations.)

To many, money talks. Source and smell be damned. Integrity is a luxury or nuisance.

So Pak Lah's task is onerous. And like charity, it begins at home. After that, there are the entrenched ministers and politicians and politikus, the judiciary, the police, the civil service, and so on. The worm-infested mess he inherited.

May Pak Lah be blessed with all the wisdom, courage and strength that he surely needs.

The reason could well be simply that he has nothing to report. He may be a believer in the saying that the best defence is offence.
