Abu Kassim Mohamed, are you now going to resign? (UPDATED with Chinese Translation)

On Saturday, 31st July 2010, the MACC Chief, Abu Kassim Mohamed, pledged to resign if any graft reports were not investigated by his agency. Tomorrow, Malaysia Today is going to reveal reports, letters and documents of one such corruption case that has been swept under the carpet. Malaysia Today’s question to Abu Kassim is: will you now resign?

MACC chief pledges to ‘spare no one’ in anti-graft war

Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Datuk Abu Kassim Mohamed said he was willing to quit if it could be proven that graft reports against Cabinet ministers were not investigated.

He pledged to spare no one in the commission’s anti-graft war.

“If there is a case or report made against any minister and we do not investigate, I am willing to step down,” he said in response to a question during a session on the “Challenges Ahead for MACC” held on the last day of the 15th Malaysian Law Conference here yesterday.

Abu Kassim also concurred with a suggestion by former Bar Council president Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan to require ministers, the judiciary and MPs to publicly declare their assets, describing it as “very, very important.”

The MACC, he explained, had no prosecution powers as its role was to investigate corruption cases as accorded under the law.

He was, however, non-committal on whether the body would push for it to be given prosecution powers, stating that the decision was not theirs to make.

In his talk, Abu Kassim noted that MACC was faced with various challenges, especially negative public perception including alleged bias. -- The Star, 1 August 2010

******************************************

Malaysia’s Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief, Abu Kassim Mohamed, said he was willing to resign if it could be proven that his agency did not investigate corruption reports.

Tomorrow, Malaysia Today will be publishing the evidence that will prove one such corruption case was swept under the carpet and no action was taken (NFA).

So stay tuned as we ‘assist’ the MACC Chief in conducting the investigation, which the MACC should have conducted but did not. Then the MACC Chief can explain why he is not resigning.

Abu Kassim, show us you are righteous. Go against the untouchable. You only live once, live with integrity and honour. Left a legacy for all Malaysians, esp your children, grandchildren etc. Your righteous will definitely make a better place for our next generation becos' for crooks to abuse power and people money, they've to think many times. Go all out to the untouchable. It's not about you, it's about Malaysia.

Pet,

The "Silent Modus Operandi & Code" of our nation's "Elite Pawns, Perpetrators" is the same as in all the Secret Soceities & Triads...
"Use monetary and sex bribery to obtain control of men already in high places* in the various levels of all governments and other fields of endeavor...

Once influential persons had fallen for the lies, deceits, and temptations of the "Elite Pawns", they were to be held in bondage by application of political and other forms of blackmail, threats of financial ruin, public exposure, and fiscal harm, even death to themselves and loved members of their families." Unquote.

A scum who has no sense of responsibility for his Nation and religion.He thought his crimes were foolproof and impregnable to expose the truth. He thought he had burned all evidences against his Masters. Hey ABU ! you can find a job at least as a dignified whore in the streets than sell yourself and your family honor the way you do . ---I'm sure the paycheck is tempting to do nothing 8--5.
You are nothing but a puny little plastic soldier used by the 4 year old in mock playtime games!! You and that porn predecessor were hand picked by none other then the Holy former mature women hunter PM to take care of all their thievery and export of atomic piles . Now the murder of Altantuya and many many more hangs around you neck!!- Do you realize you are an accessory???- why don't you resign honorably and blow the whistle. I promise to work out a simple painless asylum for you in Zimbabwe, Nigeria or even Somalia!
"'Every move you make -- every vow you take--"" we are watching you on MHz. little boy Abu!!!!!!!

Abu on his way" featherless" to the slaughterhouse. Sure no chicken for him tonight!!

MACC has no prosecution powers ,but has no problem taking upon the role of mafia on witnesses and suspects . Suggest try putting on some brains when interrogating suspects rather than the easy way out by threats and brute force. Lastly ,all Malaysians can see the most corrupted elephant in the room,but you the MACC chief do really have a problem.looking for it.

RPK,
Save your self the trouble to do all this. It is not worth a dime. MACC won't investigate cases against is masters. Better use your case at the right time when Anwar about to go into jail. Then blast them with all you got. Strategi lah sikit.

Mintak tolong sikit tolong jelaskan supaya terang benderang kat Singapore ni sebab gue dah confused kat sini. Kassim tu macam dalam citer P Ramlee bertajuk Ali Baba dgn 40 Penyamun ke atau depa ada kait mengait sedara atau adik beradik?

I assured you lah.Abu Kassim just "auta" to get public attention.How can he acted against UMNO who appointed him to the office..

written by smalluncle, August 15, 2010 21:55:49

No lah, I won't resign tomorrow even if RPK flash some document over his MT.

Reason:
1. we (MACC) do not recognise publication in the internet.
2. we act only if police report made on such matter with ORIGINAL of the documents submitted
3. even if I so wish to resign, hundreds of my mahcai will be crying and begging for me to GUIDE them. How can I be so CRUEL to leave them?

Even if he resign another idiot of his kind will take over. Better if they just close shop as they cannot perform independently and have brought shame to this country and her people.

Sub-contract this to ICAC of HK and i'm sure many corruption cases will be solved in no time.

Oh, no, no, no. He was misquoted when he made that pledge. Blame it on Bernama or the msm. Better still, blame it on Utusan, New Straits Times and the Star. What he did actually say was he woud investigate all the reports only when he has the time and competent staffs. Time and competent staffs he had not at this juncture. Happy now, everybody?

Abu Kassim : I didn't say that, it was the paper that twisted it. What I said was if I could make those who corrupted resign then I would follow suit! "Give me a book to swear, I can swear until the MACC cows come home.....mooooOOOOOOO"

If MERITOCRACY is pratised in Malaysia, we coud put a non umoonooooo crappy doggie to run Mana Ada Corruption Commission. A Malaysian Chinese or Other nonMalay will definitely do better as shown in Hong Kong ans Singapore. The ultra malays here are too much in the deep shit to get their Umoonooo boss to be charged.
Meritocracy will save Malaysia AP, ISA, And other laws will destroy us including the king of frogs mothr of racists ibraHim Ally.

Its a norm to hear all the swearing to resign if they are non performer. But in the end, all the swearing will vanish into the thin air. As long as ones know how to apple polish, the higher the chances to be elevated, or else we will not be known as Bolehland for nothing.

It is not possible for Abu Kassim to step down even if the sky begins to rain down stones, cos' he loves the previleges more than his vow. By the way, any vow from the mouth of UMNO goons is considered a piece of trash to be reckoned with!!!

Have a safe day....

Abu Kassim, "That guy looks like me, sounds like me but that's not me." Sounds familiar? All these bastards will not honor their words because their words are worthless. Bersih, Cekap dan amanah eh?
