On 4th January 2002, Mohamadon Abdullah, the Senior General Manager Corporate Services of MAS made a police report (number 347/02) at the Dang Wangi Police Station about a crime committed in 2000. That was eight years ago and the crime was committed ten years ago -- but then who’s counting? Even the MACC has stopped counting.

Aiyah, when UMNO cronies are involved, and some more during that Tun's time, you know lah, no case.......... But when it comes to a mere RM2000 plus... (Teoh Beng Hock comes to mind), the MACC will investigate and interrogate for more than 8 hours throughout night, and even kill....

I'll bet you that the authorities are sitting this one out for either all the witnesses died or gone senile or something along that line then the authorities can stamp the case file NFA, no witnesses, no evidence, nothing to work on kautim NFA.

What other explanation is there?? After 8 years and nothing ! Practically nothing!!.

'Where there has been a fraud or concealment however, the Limitation Act 1953 provides for an exception. Section 29 of the Act states that where an action is based upon the fraud of the defendant or his agent or where any fact relevant to the plaintiff’s cause of action was delibrately concealed or where such an action is based on mistake, the time of six years does not run until the discovery of the fraud, concealment or mistake by the plaintiff..'
I guess this applies to MAS case now. That's how these lanuns work or purposely don't do any work at all. Help out the masters and at the same time dapat gaji buta. smilies/tongue.gif

wow, they must be invested with unbridled power: to choose who to investigate and who not.
if they are unwilling to do their job, their superior should more than smack them.

Hello syd. . ., not 6 years lah. . ., but 8 years! Maybe this letter along with other documents from the MAS Sr.GM to MACC has been taken by some Mat Bangla doing office cleaning to the paper recycle company like what had happened to the Gombak Police station.

Anyway, I do not think MACC is going to investigate this case. They have a new slogan now. . ., "Cover-up without fear or favor"!

syd, I think it's called the statute of limtiations. MACC's Ah Boo Cursing will cite this clause, case closed NFA. BTW, I also think all saman ekor over 6 years are null and void too. No need to pay lor.

After 6 years, if no legal action taken, then the case is burnt. I forgot the legal term for this.

YM RPK, It must be really a very tiring job for you to pursue this matter. Despite tonnes of evidence you throw at them, all they do is practice the art of elegant silence imparted on them by the SleepyHead Tun!
