The consolation is that the missing-engines matter has come out in the open, as will many other cases of theft and corruption involving public assets. I thank the ‘internet’ for this; nowadays, it is hard for the government to hide this sort of thing. You can’t hide durians, bacang, and rotting corpses; and for a good reason too!

As one great man once said ‘What crisis?’ Certainly not in Malaysia!
The high and mighty don’t ever make mistakes, never indulge in corruption, and always have the best interests of the rakyat at heart.

Those involved (if they do not face death penalty)should receive the following
a). Citizenships taken away, they should be made stateless, not fit to be Malaysian!!!
b). Property n asset confiscated, made a bankrupt!!
c). 24 strokes of the rotan
d). minimum 15 years jail

This case happened not just yesterday. Datuk Idris Jala is not a politician. He should know much earlier on why he is called to be in a position which has nothing to do with his work experience. Whether he was in MAS or whether he is now in the Prime Minister’s department. We will never know if he will be called to be a full fledged politician. He is a man who is willing to take on challenges. Even great ones. But one thing for sure, the KPI scans through all the documented reports and finds out those irregularities. Verdict: POOR MANAGEMENT. For the last 50 years. Don’t blame the people now. The finger of blame should point to the beginning of the problem and that was 50 years ago. Back then, there was poor management and this poor management goes on until now and later. Now that you have all the documents. The next step should be to find out the culprits and punish them. Question is do you have the guts to punish them ? Is it worth it to punish them ? Or may be let’s do it the quiet way. The punishment is meted out without anyone knowing it. How’s that for transparency’s sake ? To think that this old engine has travelled half the world away is quite hard to believe. Therefore there is no such a thing as useless. This old engine can still work powerfully in the hands of some professional scientists, professional engineers, professional mechanics who are out to make a buck or two. It takes professional people to know what to do with an old engine but sophisticated one. Professional magician to make the engine poof into thin air.

typo…
But now 2 jet engines for the country’s war-planes were ’smuggled out’ and exported to Argentina….. can that still be considered as ‘isolated case’ anymore? Both happened during the tenure of the same Defense Minister…

When C4 being ‘smuggled out ‘ (or was it being ‘authorised’ out?) for blowing up Altantantunya…. probably that is an ‘isolated case’

But now 2 jet engines for the country war-plane was ‘smuggled out’ and exported to Argentina….. can that still be considered as ‘isolated case’ anymore? Both happened during the tenure of the same Finance Minister…

We demand for accountability….whether it is due to incompetency or ‘misconduct’ or corruption….whatever it is… someone need to be accountable for it….

It involved public fund… and it is about nation’s security too!

I think it’s better for Idris Jala to leave now before he gets himself mix up with dirt and sh+t. Come on,come out now join DAP/PR,go back to Sarawak and fight for your people.They needed you there badly.

There are too many scandals rocking Malaysia, too many for anyone to swallow. Trying to cover one and another one pop up. It is like the game of hitting the popping rabbit.

I think the perception of the Government is simply beyond repair and Datuk Sri Idris Jala will have a Herculean tasks of redeeming the government’s image by his NKRA and KPI’s project. These projects are likely to be sabotaged by the UMNO warlords, hence ending to be more likely to backlash the BN than to assist the them. The chances of success is 20% compare to 80% failure. Except for the Ministers involved, Jala and Tsu Koon, I really do not see the support of it by other Ministers especially from UMNO. I think many are just waiting to put a spanner in the works and i can predict the fate of DS Idris Jala will be the same as Datuk Mohd Zaid Ibrahin if he really push for it. If not it will die a natural death as history will repeat itself insofar as UMNO is concern.

Oops, I heard that the CCTVs at the military base are not in working order. Apparently they have not been in working order for the past few years. So Gani Patail is going to charge a sergeant plus two corporals on guard duty with treason. Wait a minute, without CCTV footage, who knows on what day those engines were stolen. OK, Gani Patail is going to charge 10 sergeants and 20 corporals for treason.

Najib was right all along – “No senior officers were involved in the theft.” The corporals got together and hatched the scheme. They negotiated with international arms dealers, opened offshore banks accounts, falsified export documents, negotiated shipping contracts, stole the logbooks for both engines, bribed customs people. Man, these corporals are good – we should put them on UMNO’s payroll. It will be a waste to put them behind bars.

Who is harmful to the country? RPK or jet engine/airport thefts. The police should stop serving for the politicians and concentrate in combating the real crimes

Najib says no cover-up. “We will nab the culprits, and make them face the full extent of the law.”

AG says no cover-up. “We will charge everyone who’s guilty. No big fish or small fish, we catch all fish.”

Utusan says no cover-up. “Let the police investigate. Don’t politicise the issue.”

What are these people referring to ? Is it PKFZ ? Is it missing jet engines ? Is it “correct, correct, correct” scandal ? You mean BN has a standard script for all scandals ?
