Attorney-General Tan Sri Gani Patail yesterday said that former Port Klang Authority (PKA) general manager Datin Paduka O.C.Phang, Kuala Dimensi Sdn. Bhd. Chief operating officer Stephen Abok and architect Bernard Tan Seng Swee of BTA Architect charged with multiple counts of criminal breach of trust and cheating are “big fishes” in the RM12.5 billion Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) scandal.
How many Malaysians will agree with Gani that these three are the “big fishes” in the PKFZ scandal?
Guilty or otherwise, there can be no doubt that the trio are mere “cogs in the wheel” of the “mother of all scandals” and the authorities concerned have still to bring the “big fishes” to justice.
Gani said that investigations into the PKFZ scandal are ongoing and more people would be brought to book.
What Malaysians want to see are not just the prosecution of the “cogs in the wheel” but the masterminds of the PKFZ “mother of all scandals”.
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PcW) investigations and the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) inquiries have laid building blocks for the full whole sordid tale of the RM12.5 billion PKFZ scandal to be told to Malaysians, right from the beginning of the PKFZ land acquisition in the nineties, and for all those involved in the intricate and complex conspiracy to be revealed.
The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak should “walk the talk” of his commitment to combat corruption and abuses of power by establishing a Royal Commission of Inquiry to investigate and reveal all about the PKFZ “mother of all scandals” or he would have failed his first KPI test of placing “fighting corruption” as one of six priority sectors.

After Mongolian Altantuya’s and Kugan’s murder, this is another set of ‘sacrificial lambs’ what else!
They tried in Teoh Beng Hock’s case didn’t they? Had it not for public uproar, things would have been quietly swept under the carpet as well!

1M’sia, anti-corruption? So pathetic
M’sia should learn fr d goment of Rwandan President Paul Kagame
Ministers, parliamentarians, top civil servants: hardly a week goes by without a prominent official going to jail in Rwanda, where the government has declared zero tolerance for corruption

Or may be instead of fishing for the big fish, let us look from another angle. There are so many fishes. Just who are the responsible ones ? It could be someone. It could be no one. There are too many people. Too many aspects of the job are delegated. Probably it started out as a minor error. Then someone tries to correct it. But it gets worse. Different people come along. One takes a bit of the share. The other takes a bit of the share. In the end, the amount is so huge but it is not just one or two or three or four people who took the share. How do you punish the minor offenders ? If the one who gives out the authority is also one of the minor offenders, how would you punish him ? Of course you will punish all, Will it be fair ? The one big mistake is divided by so many people. This is a big mega project which means a lot of people are involved. At the end of the day, probably you can get all these people to testify in the court. Will you point your finger to just one person ? This is the problem. There is a long chain of command. If everyone is a manager, who is the main manager of all ? Who is the mastermind ?

Should there be no sharks behind the show how dare the fish to do the con work.
Should there be no big guns behind the show how dare the two police officers shelve off the Mongolian ….. hey… we are not blind you know we may not be a judge…. but sometimes common sense can win over the law… cos law is man made and man can be played out by the law…ha…ha…

He’s a racist. He practises Double Standards and this is against the notion of 1Malaysia. He loves to have people begging from him and make other officers look stupid knowing he has the ultimate authority on the issue of obtaining the malaysian citizenship. He loves to be a one man-hero when he’s supposed to set up the system to get things running accordingly.
