It is very comforting when Rais Yatim said, on the 'discovery' that the Malaysian Mujahidin Group (KMM) could have been funded by mullahs, that "one is allowed to have suspicion. If the suspicion is there, then we must investigate ". Investigation based on suspicion seems to be a priority lately, but the numerous police reports by members of the opposition on power abuse and financial irregularities go straight into the waste basket.

Even the report by Fauzi Abdul Rahman against Khalil Yaakob evaporates into thin air. Perhaps he was correct in saying that the police lacked the skill to investigate money-laundering activities.

No wonder the Perwaja case, PUNB bond scam and many major financial catastrophes are classified as "still under investigation". And those cases are supposed to be straightforward white-collar crimes compared with money laundering.

KMM's modus operandi is mind-boggling indeed. What is more mind-boggling is, how did they, out of the blue, become the numero uno threat to national security?

And to suspect that they received aids from foreign mullahs? How much money do you need to rob banks, bomb churches or temples? Add to that, there is a strict ruling in Islam that forbids destroying places of worship of other religions.

In fact, it is easier to apply for temple construction in Kelantan than in other BN-controlled states. To have a bunch of 'Mujahidin' crusading on unIslamic activities is very mind-boggling indeed.
