I refer to malaysiakini report; We want full public disclosure, TI tells AG . Many decent Malaysians share Transparency International's sentiment and wants the attorney-general to be more transparent in making his statement that the top cop and former head of ACA have been cleared of corruption and abuse of power.

This comes on the heels of another top politician, a deputy home affairs minister who was cleared of similar allegations. As they say there is no smoke without fire, one would think there is more than meets the eye in this matter. Was the AG being pressured by his political master to close these high-profile case as more dirt about other top officials will be exposed if these cases are brought to trial.

The two top guns might have been be cleared by the AG but public perception speaks otherwise. Only the Almighty knows whether these two top officials abused their power for personal gain and as Muslims, they should know that whatever they do or say in this world, they still have to answer to their Creator in the hereafter.

As the chief prosecuting officer in this country, we would expect the AG to work without fear and favour and be more transparent in his work.

There is something rotten in the AG's Chambers if the rumour that a number of DPPs plan to resign from office due to differences of opinion with their top boss. The on-going high profile murder trial where the prosecution officers were replaced at last minute doesn't speak well of the professional conduct of the AG and his officers.

One is heartened to read in the news today about Raja Muda of Perak's statement that people who lack integrity, honesty and morality should not be allowed to hold high office, and that top civil servants must have high virtues.

Presently, our judiciary is suffering from credibility problems and the AG's Chambers is heading towards that direction. There is scandal after scandal being perpetrated by those holding the various forts which have caused billions of public funds to be depleted.

As one of the guardian of the country's constitution, the AG and his office should be more proactive in fighting grafts no matter how high the person's rank is. As we approach our 50th year of independence, it is sad to see our civil servants being influenced by the present immoral top guns who have no shame in dipping their fingers in the cookie jar for their own personal gain.

At the rate we are going, our inept leadership should be ashamed of themselves for getting us in the mess we are in.
