BIG BUCKS SEIZED, HIGH RANK POLICE INVESTIGATED



Kuala Lumpur is the capital of one of the world's emerging economies and in an era of increasingly sophisticated world, even crime are sophisticated and these perpetrators involved are advanced too.

Police officers involved in corruption is not something new and its too reprehensible to public to tolerate. They are entrusted to public security and nation harmony, hence they should be the last person convicted of corruption.

Malaysia was shocked by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Abu Kassim Mohamed statement that confirmed the Attorney-General (AG) Chambers is investigating 60 policemen alleged for money-laundering and corruption. Further, according to Tan Sri MACC, it is considered as a 'high-profile' case and due to that, a task force which was set up with other agencies involved comprising  Bank Negara, the Inland Revenue Board, the National Registration Department, the Immigration Department, the Customs Department, the Securities Commission and the police.

 
When all hell broke loose and suddenly there was pandemonium...

It all began when a disgruntled policeman lodged his complaint to MACC in middle last year that started the investigation on 60 policemen for money laundering and corruption. The initial investigation in November 2013 nabbed 3 police officers ranking from of DSP, ASP and Sergeant which involved millions of ringgit discorvered ranging from luxury items to various businesses such as petrol stations.

On 26 December 2013, as reported by Bernama, MACC director of investigation Datuk Mustafa Ali confirmed that a senior police officer with the title ‘Datuk’ stepped forward to record his statement.

Another shocking story when on 25 January 2014, Malaysia Insider wrote that the senior police officer who stepped forward is prepared to name several others in return for freedom. Is it so?

Recently, the IGP Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar denied and cautiouned reporters to write only from reliable sources. Somehow this contradicts when he prefers to leave it to MACC and AG's office for further action. First denied and later giving the impression it does happened?

Whether the case exist or not, AG'S task force has been established to investigate for this particular case. This has been confirmed by the MACC and other parties can rest assured that only those who are guilty should be prosecuted in order to uphold the institution's moral and sovereignity.

Please absorb this... Greed must have limits or we will risk trusting no one.
