I concur with Sadirah K and THS . If deputy premier Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is truly serious about corruption, he should back up his words.

For example, he can review all Anti-Corruption Agency investigations over the last five years and investigate the police reports made by former Umno politicians Mohd Ezam Mohd Nor and Anwar Ibrahim.

Only when he does this will we know that he is serious about corruption and graft at the highest levels. What good is it to catch the ' kuchi rats ' (or 'small fry') when the tigers are roaming the streets?

Unfortunately the businessmen who surround Pak Lah are not there because they love him. Business and Umno politics are too intertwined.

Anyone who wishes to remain in power must play the game of feeding the vultures, or as Anwar discovered, be conveniently erased form the history of Umno because he did not want to play ball.

Look around and see how many Petronas petrol stations have come up in the last month in the Klang Valley. Maybe it's a coincidence, but whenever an election nears, Petronas petrol stations are everywhere, and some only mere 600m apart.
