While I concur with your comments, I personally feel that it is better to toe the line on certain "issues/truths" (even though this is a personal blog, not everyone can handle the truth...like what Jack Nicholson said in "A Few Good Men"). I meant well, hope you are not offended.<BR/><BR/>As for the TI index, conclusion is strong correlation between poverty and corruption...does it imply that poverty in M'sia is increasing (I certainly feel that urban poverty in M'sia is on the rise).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-1162857409793087772006-11-07T07:56:00.000+08:002006-11-07T07:56:00.000+08:00I am just wondering if he believes in what he says...I am just wondering if he believes in what he says. Seriously, every lawyer in town must be shaking their head.<BR/><BR/>Firstly, anyone can be prosecuted for corruption whether its public or private money. Whereas, the AG has a duty to automatically charge someone if it involves public money/organization, those in private ones must bring formal charge for the AG to prosecute AND by-law, they actually have to or they will also be prosecutable but that is hard to do for the AG. So Nazri argument is pure nonsense.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, UMNO is not a private organization, its a political organization accountable to its members and subject to government supervision. While the AG don't have the right to automatically prosecute money politics, UMNO and its officers violates the law if it knows of corruption and does not file formal charges. The AG actually have a duty to automatically investigate officers and UMNO if formal charges to those corrupted are not made.<BR/><BR/>Nazri is shamefully unqualified to be de-facto Minister of Law.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
