MACC insists no one gets special treatment

Everybody who is investigated by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is treated the same, regardless of whether the individual is an ordinary person or a politician, its Chief Commissioner Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan said yesterday.

He said politicians, whether they were from the opposition parties or the government, were also treated the same.

“Everybody is the same and no one is accorded special treatment. Even if he is a menteri besar, he has no power to stop our investigation,” he said when contacted by Bernama here last night.

He was commenting on a call by the Anti-Corruption Advisory Board for the MACC to continue its investigations into corruption cases regardless of the status or background of the individuals involved.

On remarks by MACC Investigation Director Datuk Shukri Abdull that the commission would stop investigating politicians indefinitely as the commission was being slammed by various parties, Ahmad Said said Mohd Shukri felt pressured by unfounded allegations hurled at the commission.

Mohd Shukri made the remarks after the MACC was accused of acting aggressively in the arrest of Wong Chuan How, an aide to Selangor state executive councillor Ronnie Liu, in Sungai Pelek on Friday

MACC, as good as it never been formed.

Not even a big fish being caught, semua just ikan bilis.

Multi Million such as toyol palace, no case. PKFZ, no case as dun dare. A RM 2,400 damn big case till TBH's death.
