The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) director of investigations has suggested that all investigations involving politics be suspended temporarily with immediate effect.
In a fit of frustration, Mohd Shukri Abdull said he felt that certain quarters were out to tarnish MACC’s image by making vicious and unfounded allegations against the commission, especially against his officers. His statement was clearly directed at PR leaders and supporters.
I would like to point out to Shukri an example which merits a call for the MACC to act without fear or favour.
Why was Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd CEO Tiong King Sing allowed to have his lawyers present when he was quizzed in his office BUT not DAP political aide Wong Chuan How?
Why was Wong not allowed to be questioned in his office although it was earlier agreed?
We are clear about the allegations against Kuala Dimensi but what was Wong's offence?
Why were the two, Tiong and Wong, treated very differently?
Why is it so difficult for MACC officers to follow standard interrogation procedures?
MACC directors should try to answer these questions before accusing others of attempting to tarnish their image. The damage is of their own doing.
Why the ICAC Hong Kong was able to achieve more than 90% confidence rating from the public and not the MACC, although the latter claimed to have adopted its operating model?
MACC deputy chief commissioner Abu Kassim Mohamed should also try to understand the public's frustration with his agency and the level of corruption in this country.

Have you noticed how the 3 guys who tried to arrest Wong were dressed? One of them was wearing a T-shirt like an Ah Long.
MACC just another DOG club .... who lets the dog run !! bababa
who lets the dog out !! bababa
hahahha !!
More precisely, on what ground was Wong supposedly be "arrested" or even "investigated"?
The T4TBH blog nonsense? Did the person behind T4TBH finally lodged report to MACC? Can MACC investigate base on an allegation made through a random blog post?
Didn't Wong and his boss lodged report against the blog? So how was the investigation going on then?
IF WE ALLOW BN 'MORON' TO RULE THIS WEALTHY COUNTRY THAN WE ARE INVITING 'DISASTER' FOR OURSELVES.IF WE ALLOW THIS MACC 'IDIOT' TO REPORT/UNDER PM DEPT. THAN WE ALL MALAYSIAN ARE STUPIDS.THE STATEMENTS (MACC IDIOTS)SHOWS THAT WE ALL FAIR THINKING MALYSIAN ARE IDIOT,IDIOT,IDIOT.MACC,PLEASE DON'T TREAT US AS 'IDIOT' AS "you".
I have said it many times and some have not been posted, and maybe this one won't be too, but Malaysia under UMNO fair to all races ?....Yeah, when pigs fly !!!
Sorry to burst your hope. Malaysia Accredited Corruption Corporation is a political stooge of UMNO. MACC is also the 3rd most powerful component of Basisan Nasional, after UMNO and Polis Raja Di Malaysia.
I dont agree with all of you.I think MACC is better than HK ICAC or US FBI whatever because they spent so much effort in trying to get the facts eventhough its just RM2k, which i think ICAC will not be keen to investigate as they only go for big fish.Macc is clearly better than all of them.They shd learn from us.
The only way to solve this is for Pakatan gov to take over the federal gov and make sure MACC is under Pakatan directive to drop all cases against Pakatan and investigate UMNO
Ah, but he's only saying that becos he's been pressured by the people to look into PKFZ while the PM don want to touch the issue due to the complicated relationship with UMNO-MCA-their sponsors (as admitted by Tiong). So if they suspend, the forgetful Malaysians will let PKFZ go for awhile, then they return to kill more opposition politicians by rounding them up to MACC ofce. Clever sandiwara, but their tactic has been used over and over it's becoming a bit stale. Unfortunately, Malaysians overall are still gullible (esp those who read MSN)... UMNO PM already given marching orders to grab back Sleangor, no way they wil back off, trust me. We have to defend our rights, doing what little we can to educate ourselves and enlighten each other on what the UMNO govt and their running dogs are doing.
Why MACC not investigating all the states exco? Why targeting PR ruled states only?
Perhaps Tiong would like to enlighten all so stupid malaysians why jj,bung and loads of umno gang always hanging around his office for what ah?.
i really wonder what hong kong icac has to say about malaysian macc today.

Good start, says Hong Kong’s ICAC
KUALA LUMPUR: The creation of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) was lauded by a top official of the anti-graft body that it was styled after – Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).
Its deputy commissioner and head of operations Daniel Li said it is a good start for Malaysia to battle graft.
Li, who was among those consulted by the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) in the drafting of the MACC Act, said there was a lot of hard work ahead and it would take time to train the 5,000 investigating officers that would be recruited over the next few years.
“It is not something that can be done overnight. For the long term, you need to invest in people. It is a good start and sustaining the effectiveness of the agency relies on the people,” he said after the launching of MACC.
Interpol Group of Experts on Corruption chairman Barry O’Keefe believes it is a “marvellous thing” to have the MACC and it showed that the country is committed publicly to fight corruption. “If people support the fight against corruption, it would succeed. I think it is quite spectacular for the Malaysian Government to dedicate itself in a fight against corruption.
“It is a reason for many Western countries to be ashamed how little they have done,” said O’Keefe, who was a former Commissioner of the New South Wales Independent Commission Against Corruption in Australia.
He noted that when dealing with politicians, an anti-corruption agency would always be faced with criticism and this should not deter them from their duty as the court would decide.
Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said there is a need for MACC to “not only be fair and efficient but seen to be fair and seen to be efficient.
“Now the challenge is not only to be independent but seen to be independent,” he said.
Deputy commissioner Datuk Abu Kassim Mohammad said Commissioner Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan had acted within the law when he commented about the Selangor Mentri Besar.
The Act says that information of a report can be disclosed with the consent of the public prosecutor or an MACC officer ranked commissioner or above.
Ahmad Said had said that MACC had strong evidence against Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim over matters involving the maintenance of his personal car and distribution of cows for slaughter in his Bandar Tun Razak parliamentary constituency.

Wow, just when they are going to be free or independent of the ruling govt to carry out their job of eradicate corruptions from both the political divide. And here we have this idiot telling us that they are stopping probes the likes of PKFZ scandals and others by making sundry excuses. They have already cause the death of TBH and now going after Wong but fall short of going after the big guns and now say they will suspend probes involving politics. tell me how are we going to trust this Malaysian Anti Cows and Cars( Remember Selangor MB Khalid ). They go for the non corrupted matters but the corrupted goons are scot free.
MACC definately has temporary halt the investigation, the have been further downgraded from 'lost public confident' to 'endangering public lift'. MACC should even look into mirror and ask "Am I directly breed corruption or indiretly?". MACC or ACA is one of main reason why politician corruption is rampant in bolehlan! Maybe this country may be better off without MACC. Personally, after reading 2 hot court cases, this country need more Karpal Sigh and Sons, Karpal should have produce more sons/daugthers for a better Malaysia....
Why is the public having the perception that the UMNO-PDRM-MACC axis is not helping the nation?
Is the WCH debacle and injury a reflection of the public's fear of how things are handled at MACC?
Can any leaders please throw some light on this?
Wow.. not a surprise..
Now MACC have the reason not to investigate MCA's Ong and Tiong!!
Hahaha...
Aiyaa... if PR corrupt dun let them go. just when BN corrupt get them too, period. In fact strip them of any title and citizenship privileges if need be
obvious lah.
one is from DAP and is not rich.
the other is from BN and super rich. afterall, he can donate RM10m to MCA and expect nothing in return, leh.
by the way, who paid for the lawatan sampai belajar in Taiwan and Hong Kong, huh?
Anon 8.20
Who else sponsered that Lawatan sambil Belajar to Taiwan during Taiwan going through hell due to thunderstorm and flood? That Tong fellow lah. Pengerusi Kelab Pembela Beruk Nasional le.
The MACC stop all the investigation due to one main reson. The upcoming by election. In one week time many thinngs can happen if they continue their trend of investigation . The PR has many points to wag the Umno/Bn regim. That y tey stop it. Its a drama .After the by election they say they will continue their job due to public interest. Takut kalau siasat terus kes PKFZ akan terbongkar and Tiong akan cakap dia sponser 40 MP to Taiwan Atas permintaan Pee M. haaa....haaaa....haaa...
u know, I am gettig tired of this MACC,
1) FCUK MACC,
2) better closed it
3) this ppls in MACC, they thin they sooooooo smart, but these MACC are ike stupid ASSHOLE.
Wahhhh
now the idiot Shukri come out idea not to MACC politicians after OngTeeKeat taken away RM10million money from TiongKingSing KualaDimensi PKFZ fund. very terror woh.. this is gangster style from Pudu woh!
this is all very very tiresome.
why are these officials - like our politicians and religious authorities - constantly talking about 'image'? why does 'image' matter more than the reality and integrity of one's office? why is it always about 'face'? of course reputation matters, but to a degree. it is not the only thing. image is spoiled not because of criticisms, but the lack of integrity and honesty. unlike reputation which is what others accord to you, integrity is what you demonstrate to others. people can take away your reputation or throw mud on it, but none can touch your integrity - if you indeed possess it.
aiyohh...MACC had adopted the wrong ICAC of Hong Kong. They went to Hong Kong and take a trishaw to look for ICAC office and they chanced upon its office at Kou Long Tong ICAC. And when they went inside and realized ICAC stands for I Corrupt All Cops. They instantly liked this ICAC and adopted its model and changed their name to MACC=Me Also Can Corrupt. Why?..Cause they never investigate anything graft related to BN/Umno even so obvious and even reports have been made and never hesitate to only investigate the PR man even without reports. Example:-
1.PKFZ-mother of all scandal
2.Tiong's accusation on Ong
3.The Dentist's so-called RM3.2 M palatial home
4.2 former Perak PR members who 'frogging' to BN that cause PR to fall even they were charged with graft with the famous "kalau dia orang nak sedekah, takkan tak ambil, dosa tu" sentence.
5.and many more....
We r too chinese like we r taiwan or mainland china people. Very depresing we want to keep china identuity and condem Malay, but want Malay to accept us. I think cannot 1malaysia maa...My fellow countryman what we want ahh got idea?
The coruption agency want to stop investigating politician is because there are currently 2 big politician fishes that need to be investigated. It is his sub-conscious talking. He might actually be saying that he do not want to investigate politicians from Bee End. Can I suggest that since he do not want to investigate politician, than he should have free time to investigate the boys in blue. They are among the most corrupted.
