Abdullah Badawi announced yesterday (April 21) that the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) will be made a full-fledged commission by year-end. [Bernama]

The reformation plans are mostly focusing on improving the effectiveness and transparency of ACA, but there are a few big questions that remain unanswered. The biggest question is probably on how authoritative the ACA could be after the overhaul.

It’s reported that the final say on prosecution still lies on the Attorney General. Now, what would happen if the AG has ordered to stop an investigation prematurely?

The current AG Abdul Gani Patail has done it before, and who are going to stop AG from doing it again? And what freedom is ACA actually having if this situation is allowed to happen in future?

The reformation has to go hand in hand with other authorities, and there are lots of complications that need to be cleared to ensure a really independent ACA that could operate without any interference. Getting the right people to lead the ACA is another debatable issue too.

It’s a long way to go obviously, but it’s better than doing nothing. We’ll see how things are improve as time goes by.

Besides, reforming ACA is one thing… I think we need to overhaul our law and constitution regarding corruption as well. I believe there are many loopholes in our current system that could be exploited without breaking the law. ACA would be helpless in these situations regardless of how independent they are.

    FIXED DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS OF MAHATHIR’S WIFE AND 5 OF HIS CHILDREN

    AS WELL AS HIS CRONIES

    The information regarding the Fixed Deposit Accounts of Mahathir’s

    wife and 3 of his children are as below. These accounts were opened at

    an Israeli Singapore-based bank in the neighboring country of

    Singapore. The bank is ISRAELI NATIONAL BANK.

    That vast amount of monies could have been derived through the following:

    Deposited by an agent of the Israeli Government or any other foreign government.

    Derived by the various companies of Mahathir’s cronies.

    Perhaps this could be the RM1Bil missing from UMNO’s account which

    Anwar Ibrahim brought up before he was dismissed from UMNO.

    Details of accounts are as follow:

    Shocking findings? Another piece of crap without solid proof.

    It’s annoying that on internet these days people spreading rumours after rumours to the point that people no longer know what is real and what is fake… and the most annoying is when people started buying into these shits.
