So RCI’s proposal is to set up more committees?
Permanent secretariat in 199-word proposal
You, holding the state highest judiciary post as a former chief judge of Sabah and Sarawak, can you say that you have done your best without fear or favour in coming up with an impartial inquiry?
In the eyes of many Malaysians, you have not. Rue on for the rest of your retirement. The moral courage and sincerity in performing one’s duty before God is something either you have it or possess none. Steve Shim, which one are you?
Mosquitobrain: It’s was false hope as expected. Nothing good will come out from this RCI except frustrations.
No amount of remedial work can help correct this Project IC fiasco. In this RCI, if the six honourable commissioners cannot do a sincere and conscionable job, who else can do better?
You need integrity and political will to resolve this fiasco. Stop wasting taxpayers’ money.
Bamboo: This is a recommendation which doesn’t give any concrete steps to solve the Project IC problem but passing the buck to the council/committee that is to be formed. Indeed, a useless report from the RCI.
Flyingeagle: What use is the recommendation when the recommendation for IPCMC (Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission) from another RCI some years ago was rejected?
Have we seen anyone being charged for misusing of authority and corruption in the Auditor-General’s Reports in 2012 and 2013?
As the saying goes, talk is cheap. Concrete action is what Malaysians want.
The Analyser: A 199-word recommendation – I wonder what is the cost per word?
The ‘commission’ must have been supremely confident it had fully surveyed the problem and knew exactly how to resolve it.
Katusha: If this RCI report and its recommendation is not some kind of a joke, then nothing else is.
Jeffrey: Report an ‘eyewash’ to save Dr M
RCZ: This RCI report is hogwash. Sabahan leaders sold their people out. They deserved their fate as they voted for these leaders and will probably accept the hogwash and remain silent.
As I said repeatedly, we sympathise with Sabahans but your fate is in your hands.
Ksn: Very well said, and most aptly, truthfully said. All Sabahans know the truth, most Malaysians know the truth, yet the RCI could not find the truth. What a shame. Indeed, it is more than an eyewash.
Gen2indian: I am not a lawyer but is the punishment for treason death by hanging?
Charge the few high-ranking National Registration Department (NRD) officers, including those retired, and we will see the true picture emerge as to who really was the mastermind of Project IC.
I don’t think anyone will be willing to sacrifice one’s life, no matter what the monetary returns are.
Democracy: If Project IC is done by clandestine syndicates to make money, then why do these immigrants after paying for the illegal documents bother to register as voters?
Do they get discount or get paid for this as bonus?
Ibrahim Ali’s jail term for contempt set aside
Pemerhati: Perkasa works under the direction of PM Najib Razak and Umno. Thus if Perkasa’s chief, Ibrahim Ali, gets into trouble, it is obvious that Najib and Umno will come to his rescue.
When Najib’s good friend Abdul Razak Baginda got into trouble over the Altantuya Shaariibuu case, Najib is said to have sent him a SMS message as follows: “I am seeing IGP at 11am today… matter will be solved… be cool”.
Now when Ibrahim Ali got into trouble, Najib must have told him something similar.
Ferdtan: One High Court judge is worth more than three in higher courts, the Court of Appeal. Shame on the three judges, Abdul Wahab Patail, David Wong Dak Wah and Varghese George Varughese.
In the court of public opinion, we Malaysians know well that no one can touch Ibrahim Ali, the head of Umno’s outsourced branch which has higher authority than the main Umno party itself.
These judges had let down their fellow ex-judge by not dispensing justice when Ibrahim Ali had committed contempt of court against the retired High Court judge VT Singham.
These three judges don’t get it; an affront to one judge is the same as an insult to all of them.
If you cannot even safeguard the honour of your comrade in the judiciary how can you take care of all Malaysians who come before you for justice? This is a sad day for judiciary.
Hplooi: High Court judgments come and go. When such judgments cannot even stand the scrutiny of their peers (fellow judges), what does that tell you?
Masu Otaku: The rakyat knows Ibrahim Ali is above the law. End of story.
