Close One Eye
‘To close one eye’ - uttered by the Jasin MP to the custom officers has hit the headlines for several days. For me, these words are the ‘stupidest’ mistake ever done by A MEMBER OF THE PARLIMENT, the very one that we hope can bring development to this country and to the people. But this respectable-but-not-so-respectable-after-all MP has fail to carry on the responsibilities that we trusted upon him. Shame…shame on you, Datuk.
To those who are not ‘peka terhadap isu-isu social dalam masyarakat’, allowed me to explain the above case to you. An MP from Jasin is currently under investigation after he told a custom office ‘to close one eye’ on an illegal consignment of logs to Malaysia from Indonesia by a timber importer friend. This is clearly corruption-in-action.
However, I am curious about one matter. Why can’t he be more discreet about his obvious corruption scheme? Pure stupidity? Too much confidence?
I hope the panel deciding his future will not ‘close one eye’ but open them really wide and clear.

Despite what the Prime Minister said about accountablility and transparency, this case showed that Malaysia still has a long way to go. Another case that warrants investigations is the allegations involving Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk M. Kayveas who had allegedly tried to stop enforcement officers from raiding the Sri Steven’s Corner Pool Club in Pandan Indah, Ampang, more than three years ago.
This is how the integrity of the government and Parliament can be preserved. Otherwise the rakyat will just give up on the government.
