The former minister says the fight against corruption cannot be selective or mere warnings.

Former minister Rafidah Aziz says the fight against corruption must move towards serious action as enough has been spoken about it by government leaders.

She said all promises being made to eradicate corruption must be followed by appropriate action as it cannot be a mere policy carried out for political interests anymore.

“We have had enough of sound bites, it’s now time for serious action. Otherwise, it will merely remain as music for the ears,” she said in a Facebook post.

She said while it is laudable that the current government continues to reiterate its pledge to eradicate corruption and abuse of power, it cannot simply remain as a political strategy that sounds good.

“It must be a fight to save the country from being destroyed, and the social culture from being eroded further.”

Lim Kit Siang: ACA should not fail its own standard of new transparency and announce outcome or status report of its investigations into the 1999 corruption report lodged by Anwar Ibrahim on Rafidah Aziz
International Trade and Industry Minister, Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz was reported as having warned opposition leaders that she would sue them if they slander her �to their whims� (Bernama), which she is clearly entitled to do.

I for one do not believe in slandering Rafidah or any Cabinet Minister, but I do maintain that the government, in particular the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA), owe the Malaysian public the duty of transparency and a satisfactory accounting of investigations into high-profile cases concerning corruption and abuses of power. This is particularly pertinent now that the Minister in the Prime Minister�s Department, Datuk Seri Dr. Rais Yatim has admitted to at least another 18 high-profile corruption cases, including reaching Cabinet Minister level. (Mingguan Malaysia)

For instance, the Malaysian public are entitled to know the outcome of the first police report against corruption in high places lodged by former Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on July 9, 1999, which alleged interference of justice by the then Prime Minister and the former Attorney General Tan Sri Mohtar Abdullah in shielding Rafidah Aziz from being prosecuted in court on five corruption charges.

Anwar referred to a document of the Prosecution Division, Attorney General's Office dated 14 March, 1995, which was handed to him when he was Deputy Prime Minister by the then Attorney General, Mohtar Abdullah towards the end of 1995. The document clearly stated there was prima facie basis to prosecute Rafidah Aziz on five counts of corruption under Section 2(2) Emergency Ordinance 22, 1970 in connection with her duties as Minister for International Trade and Industry.

Anwar said in his report that the then Attorney General being satisfied with the investigations carried out by the Anti-Corruption Agency was ready to prosecute Rafidah Aziz on five corruption charges in connection with the allotment of 1.5 million Leader Universal Holdings Bhd. shares and 4,173,190 units of FACB shares to her son-in-law, Fazrin Azwar bin Mohd. Nor but this was not done because of the interference by the then Prime Minister.

So far, the ACA has not revealed the outcome of its investigations into Anwar�s report on Rafidah. Had the ACA questioned or informed Anwar about the outcome of his police report on Rafidah Aziz, as the ACA had announced a new policy of transparency in July last year to be more responsive towards public demand for information about its investigations, including keeping all complainants informed on the status of investigations as well as issuing statements about cases under investigations which are of public interest.

In August 2002, Keadilan Youth chief Mohd Ezam Mohd Noor was convicted and sentenced to two years jail by the Petaling Jaya Sessions Court for committing an offence under the Officials Secrets Act (OSA), viz. for exposing secret documents of corruption investigations, including one pertaining to Rafidah Aziz � the very same document referred to by Anwar in his police report.

Ezam�s conviction under the Official Secrets Act could only mean the truth and veracity of the allegations by Anwar in his police report on Rafidah Aziz � and if this is the case, what is the outcome of the ACA investigations into Anwar�s report?

The ACA should not fail its own standard of new transparency and should announce the outcome or status report of its investigations into the 1999 corruption report lodged by Anwar on Rafidah Aziz.

Incidentally, why has Rafidah not taken any action to sue Anwar in the past five years for defamation for his police report against her in July 1999?

Yea right, coming from you who enjoy all the APs

All these clowns are cut from the same cloth

AP - root cause of our expensive cars.

PMX should walk the talk and back up his allegations and police report against Rafidah previously.

After all, Rafidah is the one who ask you to show commitment in fight against corruption.

Kawan baek

i think this is a bridge too far, already going up against coklat daim AND atok&sons. still want to go after AP queen. fuiyoo ...

Meanwhile jibby

In politics, 5 years is a looooooong time lol

Until things happen ... this is all tokok.

Also the source of sky high debts
Most rakyat have to borrow from bank and pay all these taxes with 4.5% EIR
Fcuk the old man

Yah... weird that we commoners have to borrow from the bank to pay taxes. In principle - tax - is some value taken from what one already gain / have... NOT from what one do not have... what a f**k up country...
