PUTRAJAYA, 28 April 2010 – MACC Deputy Chief Commissioner (Operations) Datuk Mohd Shukri Abdull had declared war on bribe givers. According to him, without the bribe givers, there would be no corruption involving public servants, especially enforcement officers (a.k.a. policemen).
Just like the wild life activist war cry against the killing of endangered animals – “When the buying stops, so will the killings” – we at The Petai truly believe the same can be applied for the fight against graft. However, would it not be more effective if it was a multi-prong attack. Going after the small as well as the big. How about those instances where money changes hands not via a hand shake, but through secret bank accounts or lavish trips to some exotic country or paid renovation works for some beneficiary (a.k.a. high ranking government officer or even higher than that).
It is no use if we are just going to prune the tree but ignore the roots – if we take care of the roots by removing the weeds, harmful bugs and at the same time nourish the soil with fertilizer, the tree, on its own, will grow into a beautiful and healthy tree.
