Keep on rolling, BPR!

Badan Pencegah Rasuah

With the arrest and investigation on the top 2 personnel in the Immigration Department, our ACA is starting to strike fear on those parasites that sucks other people dry in return for their favour. It was a well publicised affair with the mass media having a field day reporting the arrest of the D-G and his Deputy on corruption practices. This has to be one of the most high profile arrest on corruption the rakyat has seen and it sends shock waves throughout the country. A host of others have been held too to facilitate investigations which only shows that the BPR is dead serious in combating this social ill, if unchecked will bring greater rot in our society as a whole. The D-G Datuk Abdul Wahid Md Don has been released on bail since. Our PM has said that with the arrest, it proved that "big fish" can be caught too. Let us all play a part and help BPR to become the best fisherman Malaysians can ever see! The latest development is starting to show the result of reform by our PM. Just too bad he has announced he retiring come 2010. I really do want to see him to continue his reform agenda and carry us forward. Talks that he is a weak leader holds no water. C'mon Pak Lah!

As the BPR gained more power and become independent, (under the reform) let's hope and see if it can make us a "cleaner" country. Our country still lags behind Singapore, Hong Kong and Macau in this department, as such we have much to do and the BPR can never do it alone. Taking a line from WWF, "when the buying stops, the killing will too", we must know, if there are no giver, there will be no taker. The public has a very important role to play. Thus moral education either at school or at home is very very important. Kids and also adults must know that to offer bribe is just as guilty as accepting one.

Declaring ones asset is a commendable thing but how do you justify the D-G can afford to live in Bukit Tunku? Either his salary is huge or he has got side income, and I don't think he sells pisang goreng or apam at the pasar malam. By looking at his home address will show something fishy.... hmmm.....maybe he sells fish! A big fish indeed like what the PM has said.

Anyway, great job BPR! Keep on fishing, let them know being on top of the food chain don't guarantee you safety. Let's fight graft together; and BPR ...please kick their sorry ass!
