There is a saying in Malaysia. It is much touted among politicians but it has been used in jest by the common folks. The slogan is "Malaysia Boleh!". Translated into English, it means "Malaysia Can!"There are many things that can happened in Malaysia.You have a disappearing private investigator,interesting judicial decisions,the ingenious use of C4 explosives and much, much more. The theft of a Royal Malaysia Air Force (RMAF) fighter jet engine takes the nyonya-cake!
According to Defence Minister Zahid Hamidi, low-ranking officers were in cahoots with civilians in the well- planned theft and sale of the RM50mil engine.
He added the thieves sold the engine to an international company based in South Africa that hired an agent to bring it out of the country.
Apparently the international company was interested in buying the engine because it was cheap as best of all, it was categorized as faulty spare part and was to be under repairs.Also missing was its maintenance and service record.
The Minister intends to take legal action at the international level to go after the company involved as well as against RMAF personnel involved for betraying the country.
This is a true case of "Malaysia Boleh". Can we have one that will soon top this as well? Surely we can, after all, this is Malaysia where everything that can happen, does happen!
