		<description>Whenever there is a flurry of activities by the ACA it is usually a harbinger of some impending event ---in this case very likely the coming of Election and election held sooner is better than later for BN since oil price is climbing up and up likelihood of recession in US is almost foregone conclusion.
Thus the sandiwara of catching the corrupt to showcase ACA is doing a terrific job is on display spearheaded by non other than the DG Datuk Ahmad Said Hamdan who announced &quot;We do not discriminate. Small fry or big fry we will go after them if they are corrupt.&quot;. Brave words indeed Mr.DG but what has been reported are in fact names of small fries. We don&#039;t find names like Rafida,Najib, Azalina,Samy Valu or even better Mr. Sleepy Head on your list. So how come you say you don&#039;t discrimate?</description>

		<description>Ã¢â‚¬ÂWe do not discriminate. Small fry or big fish, we will go after them if they are corruptÃ¢â‚¬Â.

This statement by the ACA boss says it all. Why need to emphasize that big fish will also be arrested? It sounds defensive to me. If you are genuinely going after the big fish there is no need to make such a statement. Just do it.

There are plenty for the ACA to look into. Starting from way back, there is the Matrade building fiasco, the computer labs, the naval quarters in Pengarang, the 6 patrol boats for the navy, the HPTC in London and the MRRII to the more recent PKFZ, the Sukhoi purchases, the defence radar acquistions, the Scorpene submarine purchases and the obscene &quot;commissions&#039; paid out for them. Add to these luxury yachts, private villas overseas, lucrative GLC contracts for family members etc. The sharks are everywhere. 

I am not saying that the ikan bilis highlighted by the AG&#039;s report  should not be punished. But their corruptions is chicken feed compared to the mega bucks perpetrated at the highest levels. And it is precisely that these ikan bilis can see their bosses going at it with their grubby hands and mouths that they also decide to partake of some of these goodies. Monkey see, monkey do....</description>

		<description>&quot;On the number of cases where disciplinary action was taken against civil servants, Ahmad Said said there were only 10 cases left now from more than 1,000 cases last year. &quot; - http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Thursday/Frontpage/2067921/Article/index_html

_____________

So, the optimists can now say that the outstanding 10 cases all relates to 10 out of 18 sharks?

Whereas the realist amongst us now knows it is ZERO?

		<description>This NST article (http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Thursday/Frontpage/2067933/Article/index_html) must be a joke in at least 4 ways:

1. From Abdullah himself:
&quot;&quot;I told them to do their jobs well with justice and fairness and in whatever order they carry out, they must realise that they carry a heavy burden.&quot;

My immediate thought:  PM, well said, but do you realize that your own job carries an even heavier burden?  Do you realize that your own job needs to be carried out well with even greater justice and fairness than what we&#039;ve seen from you since you were elected?

Don&#039;t just preach and stop there - do walk your own talk too.

2. &quot;&quot;He said he thought we were doing a good job, he is happy, and wants us to continue doing our best.&quot;

My immediate thought:  Have you really done a good job when you still haven&#039;t reeled even one of the 18 sharks you promised 4 years ago? 

3. The visit was meant to include a briefing for Abdullah on the latest ACA cases to which the press was invited. However, due to scheduling complications, the briefing was postponed. Other events on the programme went on as planned.

My immediate thought:  So, briefing the PM on latest ACA cases is LESS important?  But minor events are MORE important?

4. How much of Rakyat&#039;s money did it cost to roll out the Red Carpet for the PM&#039;s official visit?  What about the other events on the programme?

		<description>Typical tokkok by Najib:

1) Najib said that through Malaysia&#039;s election, the country would be able export the &quot;winning formula&quot; of its education system to other countries.

2)Najib said the successful Unesco bid capped a series of sterling achievement by Malaysia in a matter of days. It started with the return of the country&#039;s first spaceman, Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, from the International Space Station to earth on Sunday followed by the launch of Malaysia&#039;s first submarine in Cherbourg, France, on Tuesday. Malaysia achieved three big feats in a short period of time,&quot; he said.

Bad jokes, Najib. Any new ones?

BTW, has ACA finished (I mean, &#039;begun&#039;?) its investigation in the Scorpene/Sukhoi deals (which  deal was it that implicated Razak BAginda and his ashened Mongolian girlfirend?) ?</description>

		<description>ACA acts like a political tool to suppress opponents against BN government. 

To earn a good name, ACA shall at least hava these three characteristics,

1. Apolitical

2. Come after big fishes, not only small fries.

3. Professional

As far as my knowledge, ACA has none of these charactersitics.</description>

		<description>I saw to my surprise, off road pot holes are being filled up. Election must be in the pipe. An Indian proverb states that candles burn much brighter before they burn up.</description>

		<description>&quot;... ACA Director-General Datuk Ahmad Said Hamdan courageously declaring: Ã¢â‚¬ÂWe do not discriminate. Small fry or big fish, we will go after them if they are corruptÃ¢â‚¬Â.

Hard to believe isn&#039;t it. It sounded like an outright lie in your face. If Ahmad Said Hamdan mean what he said he&#039;ll have to close down UMNO to show he&#039;s the man of his words. Don&#039;t try to kid me!</description>

		<description>&quot;....most of the 18 Ã¢â‚¬Å“ikan yuÃ¢â‚¬Â have escaped and are swimming merrily in the South China Sea.&quot; KIT


Why South China Sea? Why not M&#039;cca Straits? Why not the Indian Ocean?

The &quot;ikan yu&quot; apparently have made deals. They are now a protected specie.</description>

		<description>The proof of the pudding is in the eating. ACA with little to show after all these years is nothing but a government tool to maintain the status quo of the warlords of BN.

If there should be any investigations, it is ACA itself that should be investigated for being a total disgrace and being total hypocrites. As one blogger puts it, ACA is Anjing Comel AAB.</description>

		<description>Never mind the sharks; actually the little fish are far more vicious, like little piranhas. There are hundreds of thousands of them in the civil service and the amount the rip off is far greater than the ikan yus. 
Ask those in the construction industry. To get a contract, they need to get through all kinds of middle men and when they finally get through, they have to deal with the officers in the ministry of finance. After that the client ministry. Then those on charge of supervising the project from the government side will ask for all sorts of thing like overseas trips to visit and inspect factories making lifts, etc all at government&#039;s expense with the cost added to project costs. When the project is done and time to get payment, all kinds of officers will have to be taken care of for fast and timely payment.</description>
