When MACC itself looks like a suspect

Image
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) often casts the limelight on the individuals it investigates. Lately, however, the anti-graft commission itself has taken the centre stage. What began as a pair of Bloomberg reports on Feb 10 and 12 has since escalated into a political, institutional and public controversy, placing the agency, its chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki and the country’s governance framework under increased scrutiny. The controversy has widened from questions about shareholdings to broader allegations of corporate intimidation, institutional overreach and the adequacy of existing oversight mechanisms.

The Quran restores dignity to Jesus and Mary, his first miracle was speaking as an infant (Quran 19:29-33). The Quran says: "So she pointed to the baby. They exclaimed, 'How can we talk t...

Budaya dan amalan rasuah dalam FAM dipercayai menjadi antara faktor penyumbang kemerosotan teruk pembangunan bolasepak di Malaysia  Sebuah portal berita yang juga memiliki stesen televisyen sendiri melaporkan bahawa  Pemangku Sultan Johor, Tunku Mahkota Ismail Sultan Ibrahim , mendedahkan terdapat segelintir 'orang dalam' Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) yang mendalangi kempen sabotaj bagi menjadikan baginda kambing hitam dalam isu pemalsuan dokumen pemain warisan. Astro Awani memetik baginda dalam satu hantaran di laman media sosial X, sebagai bertitah baginda mahu 'orang dalam' FAM itu bertanggungjawab dan tidak lepas tangan susulan keputusan di Mahkamah Timbang Tara Sukan (CAS) membabitkan kes tujuh pemain Harimau Malaya terbabit. Titah baginda, individu-individu terbabit dipercayai menyimpan rasa tidak puas hati sejak dahulu lagi kerana gagal memanipulasi kedudukan mengaut keuntungan peribadi. Malah, Tunku Mahkota Ismail mendakwa ada pihak dari badan induk itu p...
