the reality of cronies and helang regardless of race
they don't care or don't even realize they are wrong

best case scenario for rakyat is

albert and all the corrupt sabahan politicians go down together, all masuk penjara

but we all know this will be NFA for many years

coz sabah got AI plotek, albert lawyers with 100yo lose deposit supporting behind

sure nothing will happen la

albert will go back to cari makan with his night clubs and occasional lobbying for contracts

Nia sing, wtf are talking about controlling AI??

Its PMX move now, we shall judge, wat is wrong letting MACC investigate.

Again, rocket is not mine, u retarded anjing.

Attempt to give bribe is breaking anti corruption laws already. When it comes to laws, this Alberto gonna lose. But using threat etc to force his way out of the jam, might be different story. If worked for someone with orange hair before 😆

Ini memang old horse punya diversion.

Looks like DSAI is getting close to exposing all his assets.

who said he is hero? but he wants to bring those involved down as well. i say why not? let him drag those in also.. whose assistant that receive from him? let them fight and let him spill his beans

Propaganda endgame is to make Anwar turun

Dont care what it take

So I ask ai this simple question:-

Is a person considered a whistleblower in a corruption case where he is the person offering the bribe but decided to publicize the deal when it went sour?

Excellent and nuanced question. The short answer is: This person would likely not be considered a "whistleblower" in the legal or ethical sense, but rather a "disgruntled participant" or "failed conspirator."

Here’s the breakdown of why:

Core Principles of Whistleblowing That This Scenario Violates:

1. Acting in the Public Interest (The Primary Factor):
· A whistleblower's primary motive is to expose a wrong to protect the public, stop harm, or uphold the law. Their action is altruistically motivated.
· In your scenario, the person's motive is personal grievance ("the deal went sour"). They are not acting to serve the public good, but rather to retaliate, seek revenge, or potentially extricate themselves from a failed scheme. The public exposure is a byproduct of their personal displeasure, not their driving goal.
2. Status as a Witness or Observer, Not a Perpetrator:
· True whistleblowers are typically insiders who witness wrongdoing committed by the organization or its agents. They are reporters of a crime or misconduct in which they were not a central, willing participant.
· Here, the individual is the one committing the initiating crime (offering a bribe). They are a principal perpetrator, not a witness exposing a crime committed by others.
3. Clean Hands Doctrine (A Legal Concept):
· Many whistleblower protection laws and court rulings rely on an implicit "clean hands" principle. To qualify for legal protections (immunity, anti-retaliation, rewards), the whistleblower must come forward in good faith and not be substantially involved in the very misconduct they are reporting.
· A person who actively planned and executed a bribe would have very "dirty hands" and would be disqualified from these protections.

What This Person Actually Is:

· A Co-Conspirator Seeking a Deal: In the eyes of law enforcement, this person is first and foremost a defendant or suspect in a bribery case. If they come forward, they would be attempting to become a cooperating witness or informant to secure leniency (a reduced sentence) by testifying against the official who accepted (or solicited) the bribe.
· A Source for Investigative Journalism: A journalist might use this person as a source to expose corruption, but the journalist would be careful to label them as a "disgruntled bidder" or "failed briber," not hold them up as a heroic whistleblower.
· Potentially Guilty of Extortion or Blackmail: If their "publicizing" involves threats to expose the official unless they get something (money, the original deal), they could be committing a new crime—extortion.

Analogy:

Imagine two people rob a bank together. After the heist, one robber feels cheated out of their share of the money. So, they go to the police to report their partner.

· Are they exposing crime? Yes.
· Are they helping convict a criminal? Yes.
· Are they a "whistleblower" on bank robbery? No. They are a confessing co-conspirator hoping for a better deal. The police and public still view them as a robber.

Conclusion:

While the act of publicizing the corrupt deal might have the same effect as whistleblowing (exposing corruption and holding someone accountable), the motivation, role, and legal status of the individual are fundamentally different.

Key Differentiator: A whistleblower exposes wrongdoing by their organization or superiors. In your case, the person is exposing wrongdoing they themselves instigated, which makes them a participant-turned-informant, not a whistleblower.

I googled Malaysia whistleblower protection act and from the summarize this Albert case he cannot be considered as whistleblower. Becoz he not fulfill most of the requirement in the act.
