COMMENT | MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki reportedly said the action-packed arrest of businessperson Albert Tei was conducted in accordance with established procedures.

Based on such a riveting statement, we may reasonably assume the raid on Tei’s home, which saw a group of MACC officers in bulletproof vests and balaclavas force their way in and arrest Tei, was part of such established procedures.

It was reported that Tei’s counsel had already fixed a date for MACC to record his statement. It was unclear why such a fixed date was not adhered to.

To rub salt in the wound, Tei was treated by MACC heavy-handedly, as if he were a dangerous and hardcore criminal, or even a terrorist.
