Alleged MACC Thieves

Three Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers arrested by the police for allegedly robbing money changers of almost RM1 million in US currency at KLIA last Thursday have been relieved of their duties, so said IGP Ismail Omar yesterday (The Sun, September 22, 2011, p 02).

Isn’t this further proof that MACC is really rotten to the core? A revamp is urgently needed. And while we’re at it, charge those involved in causing Teoh Beng Hock’s death – read my posting dated July 26, 2011. Can you blame the public if we look upon MACC as a lair of thugs and thieves?

It was really nice to know Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard made his comeback (in the 75th minute actually) after six months on the sidelines as they came through a potentially hazardous Carling Cup third round tie at Brighton unscathed. Craig Bellamy opened the scoring with a composed finish (7) and played a part in Liverpool's second goal as Dirk Kuyt confirmed their place in the next round draw in the eighty-first minute. Ashley Barnes replied for Brighton with a 90th minute penalty. Final score: 2-1.
