THE charging of three Tourism Ministry officials yesterday for criminal breach of trust involving close to RM1 million goes a distance to show that the government is serious in nipping in the bud corruption and misuse of public funds.

However, while the likes of the Attorney-General’s Chambers, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and the police may get some brownie points for their efforts, especially since the netting of a big fish in the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) fiasco, the people still need convincing that the real culprits – the ones with money and connections will not be let off the hook.

After all what is RM1 million compared to the millions siphoned from public funds?

AIYOOO.... YOU DONT KNOW MEH. MACC'S MAIN ROLE IS SANDIWARA MAH. GOMEN MSM
WILL DO THE REST. AFTER THAT, NFA. AT BEST, ONLY POOR IKAN BILIS BECOME FALL GUY.
ALL THE FAT FISH ENJOY LIFE HAPPILY EVER AFTER ONE IN 1MALAYSIA.

Antares, Sedan and Casper you win a prize for the right answer. Hahaha. This TerenceThambi and his handler Nades are just good for MSM. He is so stupid to think that he can fool the readers of this dignified and prestigious Malaysia-Today information network. If you have the integrity, mention names when you write here. And by the way, the AG and IGP are not unwilling participants. They are beneficiaries. Your spins are only good for the MSM. For those who thought that you did a good job of exposing the PKFZ scandal, let me enlighten them. You had the green light from your boss to bring down the MCA guys because UMNO was not happy who MCA at that time.

umNOOOOOOOOOO is bankrapt and needs money for all the warlords for the GE 13. These warlords are expensive so they need money from these CINA umNO like Vincent , YTL, LKS and Indian umNO like Ananda. Wa tolong lu, lu tolong wa .!!!! So where the big fish, semua sandiwara like LLS, Eric, Lingam????

Knock, knock, halo, halo Terence Fernandez are you for real, or bonked as well? You said "bla, bla .....show that the government is serious in nipping in the bud corruption and misuse of public funds".

May be you don't see it right. I'll show you how! Firstly you got to strip down, bend over look in between the two balls may be then only you can see all the umeno/mca/mic and the rest of BeNd tong taik ... if you total up it will be RM380B+ of public fund hancus!

Terence Fernandez is the mainstream media's darling shill. So, is his godfather Citizen Nades. By highlighting small fish corruption, they expect to carry the halo of fearless exposes.

Rubbish! Try digging up corruption issues surrounding Vincent Tan (your paymaster) and see where that leads you.

There is one thing I cannot stand: Puny wimps who trample on the small fish and ass-kiss the big ones.

But then, it is Terence's portfolio to fry the small fish and fool us public into thinking that there are elements in the Sun who can stand up to authority.

Frankly, between the shameless coward Terence and Ibrahim Ali, I'd prefer the latter any day. At least Ibrahim Ali takes a dig at even Umno politicians.

Terence thambi, I'm sure you are a nice fella' swell and all but when you talk of graft busting to sound off the lot of corrupt monkeys, let me remind you the fact you are working in the employ of the biggest granddaddy of them all. Perhaps the most influential of individuals out of government and the grandest of a selected bunch of 'Cina' UMNO (whom I know) takes pleasure in spitting on all UMNO Malays, given the constant demand of UMNO monkeys for more and plenty more bananas - a relationship fostered when Mahathir was just a regular 'Mutt' still wet behind the ears.

Back in the day when Mahathir was still a minion, Vincent Tan was quick to notice how conniving the Doctor wallah and 'invested' in that potential that paid off multifolds. Even now, Vincent Tan is still reaping the benefits of that fruitful investment but more importantly, immunity from his many criminal ways when conducting business.

In private circles, Vincent likes to regale friends the awkward ways of Mahathir, cocksure and full of himself now but not so, those early days. He may have transformed himself but yet cultivated no business sense to allow Daim and Vincent run rings round him - an anomaly considering the sharp wit necessary for commerce most Indian Muslim inherently possess.

In business and politics, this Cina UMNO has been able to call the shots for eternity because all of Mahathir's UMNO Baru remains beholden to him. And since coming out unscathed at the close of Lingamgate, this supersize criminal has lost all objectivity and grown ever bolder ie jumping the gun to grant himself a gaming license is evident of how big his balls are.

This playground bully put Najib in a spot of bother, made a dog out of MACC chief, a bitch of SC head and yet UMNO's No.1 was all apologetic for the ruckus Vincent himself created.

Today, the "hidden" hand no longer lingers in the shadows but as the saying goes - the higher one's climb, the harder the fall - and soon Terrence, your benefactor, his future and fortunes would come crashing to mimic the fall of UMNO with that day of reckoning, just a short while away.

I believe everything is in place for M'sians to test the fallacy of the RAHMAN prophesy. The time is ripe but I hope the stars above grant me the wish of having the old Mutt around, alive and kicking to bear witness for that last hurrah of an UMNO gone up in flames like a Banana Foster - a most apt and poetic end.

No matter the time of week Terence, that would be a truly memorable and joyous MERDEKA day. Cheers one and all.

the DG who initiated the investigation is charged and the minister is walks away...not bad ah!

Has Abu Kassim prepared his resignation letter yet?

I'm glad writers from the Sun like Terence Fernandez get a place in MT as they are the only unlikely allies from MSM. Another writer is Citizen Nades. Terence and Nades are reminiscent of the two reporters who exposed Watergate when they went public with PKFZ with their investigative journalism.

...that the government is serious in nipping in the bud corruption!??!! What bud are you talking about, there is no bud, everything is fully blown flowered. Al-UMNOdollarlah! Semua-nya OK!

as long as their leashes are allowed.
once the leash-handlers pull in the reins, they got to stop.

You cannot expect any decent service from our civil servants who are tools of the political masters. So 'your command I obey' culture will go on.

if MACC really got b*lls, they would have gone after the butch instead.

The three officials are only sacrificial lambs by UMNO in protecting their own Putras!!!

a leadership full of rot and blight
indiferent to the peoples plight
denies the able and the bright
the countrys crashing, hold tight!

"...goes a distance to show that the government is serious in nipping in the bud corruption and misuse of public funds.'-no, I beg to differ.
RPK has given us an insight as to why these 3 are scapegoats - they have been picked by a partial justice system to satisfy a vengeful former Minister of Tourism becoz they refused to play ball with her ; refused to accept her abuse of funds.
I'll take RPK's word on these matters anytime!!

Don't waste time, only small fish being caught, not the jaws, sharks or whales being caught!
