		<description>When a nation, or for that matter just any organisation, needs Acts after Acts or Regulations after Regulations to put the house in order, something is very wrong with that nation or organisation.

It shows that there are just too many irregularities or misdeeds going on that warrant more checks and balances to be done to spring-clean the house. There is just too much dirt and webs (of unacceptable and corrupted deals ) to be ridden of. Just too many bad apples to be weeded out.

Just plain logic : 

If a person is upright and downright honest, incorruptible, reliable, credible, accountable, industrious, capable and acceptable to everyone who are in touch with him, do you think there is any need to question his every move?

Irregularities and misdeeds if allowed to happen would only put the house in danger of collapse. And the innocent and hapless would invariably be the victims.

The nation would also fall victim and the loss and consequences would be far-reaching and unfathomable in many ways.

The only way to change for the better is for individuals to be accountable and sincere in all their intentions.

Unless and until the nation rids itself of hypocrites and mediocrity and honestly puts only reliable and capable people to run the nation&#039;s machineries, it would be the shadow that the nation is chasing after. It only remains a far-fetched dream that we are going after, let alone envisioning the true democracy and meritocracy (even though not 100% ) that&#039;s the USA. We can only be envious and look from the sideline.

The nation&#039;s administration does not project sufficient honesty and sincerity in its desire to make the nation one which is fair and equitable. Too many incidents negate the stated policies and statements. The people cannot be blamed for being disillusioned, sickened and disgusted.

Too many bad hats ( with connection ) got away scot-free after committing corrupt or unacceptable acts, which if committed by any other persons from across the divide would be dealt with differently and severely. How can the righteous and upright accept such injustice and contradictory practices?

The people entrusted to watch over crimes and offenses must be of those who are truly incorruptible and not affected by any interest groups. They must be truly independent, non-partisan and 
not compromised in any manner.

There is no point in coming up with legislations which would not be honoured or kept. There is no point in debating and passing Bills after Bills if what followed are merely rhetorics and whitewashing.

It would only succeed in making the nation a circus and the butt of jokes good for the coffee shops and mamak stalls, and perhaps the blogs. It would make a mockery of what the nation aspires so hard to achieve and the nation would go down in history known for its scandals and unfulfilled visions.

Such is the importance and might of integrity, accountability, transparency, sincerity, law and order, justice and an incorruptible and just administration.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s repeat.

AAB had 5 years to produce the IPCMC, ICAC, etc. Now he claims to be able to do that as a lame-duck PM?

		<description>What good can come out of MCAC or whatever name to choose if all we get is an UMNO &quot;YES man&quot; sitting on its chair? Remember the Election Commission, Lingam Commission  etc etc...

The all important issue is who gets to nominate the candidate to sit on the chair if MCAC is to take on good meaning!</description>

		<description>I think they&#039;ve made a basic English mistake and confused &quot;Bill&quot; with &quot;Invoice&quot;.

They could save everybody a lot of money and make a real commitment to the fight against corruption by ungagging the press.</description>

		<description>k1980 is absolutely right.

Even if the Act expressly provides that the anti corruption body is to be totally independant and answerable only to parliament, when it comes down to reality, pm and cabinet will still be its directing minds.

Useless effort it will be in having the mcac whatever.</description>

		<description>Malaysian Commission on Anti-Corruption (MCAC) will still take its orders and obey the PM, so it is not independent. Back to square one</description>

		<description>Its all show. See we have Acts for this and for that. What for? Really important ones are not there. Obsolete and repressive ones are there and actively used. The rest not really enforced. They become just mere appendages. If not for show then they are for what? And more needless ones being introduced. Lets get it right dear umno government. We need the Act to check on the police. We need some kind of clear and transparent policy on appointment and promotion of judges, on award of government projects, on government spending. We dont need the ISA, OSA, Printing &amp; Publication Act, Universities Act and the now proposed DNA thingy.</description>
