MACC should be making this type of arrest.
This is a classic case of collusion that can pervert the dispensation of justice.
If MACC avoid the limelight of being seen to be an instrument of politicians, particularly of the govenrnment of the day, their image will will change and they will join the ranks of Hongkong, Singapore and the Scandinavian countries.
I like the following report.
On Oct 11, a magistrate and a police prosecutor were arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in Kelantan.
MACC deputy chief Commissioner Abu Kassim Mohamed told the press the two were involved in a drug case.
A press release by the MACC this evening stated the 27-year-old magistrate was picked up at 10.30pm at a petrol kiosk at Machang while receiving some money, which is believed to be part of a bribe.
The cash sum of RM3,000 is believed to be part payment on a bribe of RM5,000, demanded in exchange for reducing the sentence of an accused who had committed an offence under the Drug Addiction (Recovery and Rehabilitation) Act 1983.
The money was received from a policeman who acted as the prosecuting officer in the case.
However, to date, only the magistrate has been remanded for two days.
I believe MACC, being in the harsh spotlight because of the ongoing Teoh Beng Hock inquest can be the better of all the investigation agencies in this country.
