YOURSAY 'MACC should be revealing the sordid details of this scandalous abuse of power rather than PKR's Rafizi Ramli.'
Cowgate: Shahrizat summoned by MACC
GoneBananas:
This is disgraceful. MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) should be the agency investigating and revealing the sordid details of this scandalous abuse of power and criminal misappropriation of public funds.
Instead, it has to be somebody from PKR. Party strategy chief Rafizi Ramli has done a better job of sleuthing than the whole MACC apparatus - it's a total waste of taxpayers' money to support this useless and murderous extension of Umno.
Lim Chong Leong: How can we trust those investigating when they were the very ones who insisted there was nothing to investigate in the first place?
James1067: It sounds like an invitation for questioning, but we all know tea and curry puffs were ready for the chit-chat.
The questioning will end up with the lady rolling up her sleeves and telling MACC: "I have enough files on your bosses. I can send them over but maybe I will put them on the Internet. So I think we just do a ‘sandiwara' (act) for the sake of the public."
Akucina: A prediction - lack of evidence, no further action, case closed.
Mirror on the Wall: A picture paints a thousand words, they say. The photos of the minister being greeted in such a cordial manner say volumes about Malaysians not being treated equally in the eyes of the law.
But we must also remember that she is not the accused in this matter. So, I wonder why how this so-called summons by the MACC is supposed to help put out the NFC fuse? Perhaps 20 years ago it might. Not today!
Democrat 53: Look at the reception she received? As many have commented, it was similar to how they received ex-Selangor MB Dr Mohd Khir Toyo but only here, there would be a clean up of all the evidence.
The only problem MACC and NFC are facing is Rafizi Ramli's ‘slow release' of the transactions and he is doing a great job at it. They do not know what is going to come out next.
As for Shahrizat, she will be let off and dropped from the GE13 list of candidates. Anyway, she has RM250 million and properties all over the region.
Changeagent: "Excuse me? Excuse me? How dare you ask such a redundant question? Of course, I'm here as a suspect lah .
"My husband and children are all involved in this scam, so whether I am directly involved in the running of the NFC or not is immaterial.
"The fact is that this kind of arrangement leaves a lot of room for breaches in conflict of interest by a federal minister, manipulation and abuse of public funds.
"Trust me, I do understand how the public are perceiving my role in this whole fiasco. After all, I used to be a lawyer and magistrate so I'm not really that dumb. But you have to understand my predicament too.
"I must say and act irrational now because it is the only defence that I have against the serious but factual allegations leveled against me and my family."
Armageddon: Two hours of questioning for a RM250 million scandal. Compared that with Teoh Beng Hock's.
TaipingPandian: I hope that this will be another one of a million ‘wake-up calls' for Malaysians that Umno and its crony component parties (MIC and MCA included) are not working for the people but only for themselves.
The Malay community can see that nepotism, corruption and the lack of transparency have become a culture in Malaysian politics. Gone are the days that Umno can say that they represent the Malay community and Islam.
Queenie: Shahrizat has already said she has nothing to do with the project. The project was given to her family to run and the RM250 million soft loan as well.
DPM Muhyiddin Yassin should know more as he was the agriculture minister at the time. Remember, he was tasked to investigate to see if a solution can be found to resolve the NFC fiasco, whatever that means.
There appears that an abuse of the loan had been committed by her husband and children. Let's see what the MACC can come up with. Any which way, she is one big liability to Umno.
Anomnim: I am sure she will be okay and return home for dinner unlike some other people from opposition who never did.
Shahrizat takes dig at opposition 'stalker'
Anonymous_3e4b: All Umno leaders are useless. When under attack, all they know is to swear on the Quran, attack a person's character and talk stupid.
They can't produce evidence to counter the attack - the reason being because they have none. And what has being ‘girlish looking' got to do with what has been wrongly spent by NFC?
Wira: Yes, Umno leaders also smeared Penang CM Lim Guan Eng's family but he was able to prove that it was all a sinister lie by being open. Be open, Shahrizat. Prove the ‘stalker' wrong with facts and data.
Lim Chong Leong: Shahrizat, if you have a good explanation on the NFC, please say it out. Don't just poke fun at your accuser. Answer the charges made against you.
Changeagent: Haha, Shahrizat is such a funny woman. Maybe she should seriously consider a career in stand-up comedy when her political career comes crashing down like a deck of cards as a result of the NFC scandal.
A comedy career in the prison circuit, perhaps.
