SHAMELESSNESS IS OUR NEW CULTURE - SPECIALLY BROUGHT TO YOU BY MALAYSIAN POLITICIANS
Politics
IT is interesting to read an article written by The Star Online editor Wong Chun Wai, published on Tuesday 12 February 2019. He warns we seem to be heading towards a dangerous edge. There is now an emerging culture of shamelessness.

Najib and millions of supporters
Former prime minister Mohd Najib Abdul Razak may have been slapped with countless charges of corruption and money laundering, but his campaign, Malu apa bossku (Why the shame, my boss) has surprisingly attracted millions of likes on social media.
Najib also clarified that he completed his studies in Nottingham University in United Kingdom, and he will show the evidence at an appropriate time. He says it's not a problem. People are waiting.

"Graduates"
But a similar show is also surfacing on the other side of the political divide.
One Pakatan Harapan (PH) leader after another is having his or her dubious education credentials exposed after Deputy Foreign Minister Marzuki Yahya was questioned over his.
Johor Menteri Besar Osman Sapian's education history has come under the spotlight with the allegation that he didn't obtain a degree from Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), as claimed.
Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin social science degree graduate from the National University of Singapore (NUS), as reported when she became a minister, has also come into question. Now, she's washed her hands of ever having had one.
DAP Assemblyman from Tronoh Paul Yong Choo Kiong claimed to have a masters in business administration from Akamai University - an alleged degree mill in Hawaii - among his academic qualifications.
None of these politicians have apologised for not correcting these errors when they were revealed, but now, they have conveniently shrugged off the news reports, claiming no knowledge of such revelations. Can you believe them?
Worse, Marzuki passed the buck to Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, saying it is now up to his boss to decide. The Johor MB chose to remain silent, hoping that the storm would blow over. Zuraida blamed anyone concerned for not seeking her verfication before revealing her degree qualification.
Fantastic, fantastic! This is how politicians answer questions. It clearly shows that politicians are more concerned about their own political survivals. The interest of the people/rakyat and country, as well as the high value of integrity are not their real priorities.
Politicians lie to themselves
The central issue here isn't whether an elected representative should have a tertiary education - the point here is, should we put our trust in anyone who lies to themselves?
If some of these individuals buy online dubious online diplomas, they are only cheating themselves. Worse, the electorate has also fallen for this charade hook, line and sinker.
Instead of working hard, like most university students, these individuals apparently chose the easy way out. Are we expected to believe them when they talk about accountability and integrity from now on?
In private sector, the sack would be
a foregone conclusion
More unfortunate, most PH leaders have chosen to look the other way or have lamely justified these dishonest transgressions. If they were in the private sector, the sack would be a foregone conclusion.
PAS and luxury cars
In another development, PAS leaders have found themselves in unfamiliar waters. The leaders like to appear pious and holier than thou. However, they are now seeing their names flying on social media, associated with a taste for sports cars and bikes, and not just under their names, but those of their children and spouses.
A report filed with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over allegations of PAS leaders getting RM90 million from Umno under the previous administration involved "a list of expensive cars", properties, high powered motorcycles and "the purchase of number plates at exorbitant prices", it had been widely reported.
The frogs
Yesterday, Tuesday, 12 February 2019, prime minister and Bersatu chairman, Dr Mahathir Mohamad accepted seven independent members of parliament (MP) to join his party. They were formerly elected MPs from Najib Razak's Umno.
