HOW PATHETIC???
How can Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam be barred from contesting to be the Umno Deputy President for involvement in money politics (euphemism for corruption) but yet be fit to continue as the Malacca Chief Minister?
The same question applies to Khairy Jamaluddin, who was given a warning for being involved in money politics – as to how he could continue even as MP for Rembau.
I posed these questions in Parliament during the 2008 Supplementary Estimates after the announcement by the Umno Disciplinary Board this evening.
In my speech, I quoted the interview by the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz in Sunday Star (8.3.09) on money politics in the Umno elections, where he admitted:
“It’s still quite rampant except that it has gone underground.”
In response to the question: “Why do you think members have gone to the MACC rather than the Umno disciplinary board?”, Nazri replied:
“Actually, a corrupt act cannot be settled at the party disciplinary board level as it is not an offence just against Umno that can be sorted out internally. It goes beyond Umno. It is an offence against the state so nothing can stop MACC from coming in because all these complaints are made by Umno members.”
When will MACC move against Ali and Khairy?

Lim Kit Siang.
mi1: MACC would be waiting for Najib's instruction
Not Fit To Contest As UMNO DPM, But Fit To Continue As Malacca MB?
ReplyDeleteA very cogent question. But you will get a very stupid answer, if you must hear Tengku Ahmad Rithauddin tell it. He will say, Mohd Ali Rustam is ethically unfit to contest as UMNO DPM but ethically fit to continue as Malacca MB. Someone please figure out this twisted logic.
