The arrests, debate and intrigue of the murder case sidelined the seriousness of corruption in our country. The arrest of the Director-General and Deputy Director-General was the most serious one but warranted the least attention. "The corruption in the department was so widespread...from top to the bottom.... that it threatened the national security" said the Director-general of the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) who ordered the arrest. If so, why they were not detained under ISA? They were released on bail later.
The No 1 and No 2 of a department were arrested for corruption(visas for money).... so you can imagine what type of department it is !! There is a illegal Immigrants Detention Camp in Broga where I passed by when I go to the FARM. My friend told me that if you need to see a detainee inside (Indonesian, Myameses, Blangadeshi, Vietnamese, Chinese...), you need to pay your way to the guard Manning the main gate right up to the guard inside the detention rooms.
Perhaps Malaysians were not surprise by the arrest because it was not a surprise..... corruption in government department existed like the fishes existed in the river. "Big position eats big, small position eats small " " you know lah....." this is the common perception. Malaysia Government and Malaysians feel no shame on it at all ..... as if it is all in a day's work.
Interestingly, the arrest of the top immigration officials was done after the Prime Minister Adullah Ahmad Badawi's announcement of his handing over of power to his deputy in 2010. He wanted to leave behind a legacy as a reformer. He praised ACA for a job well done without further comment. He was the former Internal Security Minister which the Immigration Department was under. He was the former boss of the Director-Generals ! It was just handed over recently to Syed Hamid.
In another interesting news report titled "cop vs cops", a policeman in Gemas, a small town in Negeri Sembilan, lodged a report against all his colleagues including his superiors allegedly over dissatisfaction on how the monthly bribes from those operating illegal activities was being distributed. This should have made it to the headlines, even CNN....
Former Inspector-general of Police, Tun Haniff Omar said two years ago that if ACA were to initiate an investigation on police personnel, no evidence needed, half of the police force would be hauled to court simply for living beyond their means.........ho ho ho!!
Prime Minister has chosen Hong Kong's ICAC as model to reform our ACA. A delegation of senior officials have gone to Hong Kong to learn from ICAC. Many of them are Police officers, IGP (Inspector General of Police) was one of them. Do you expect changes.......jiong lah (Chinese word and symbol 囧 ）

移民局总监
当我们在沙巴州度假的时候，西马发生了很多事情。首先是移民局的正、副总监因贪污被逮捕，接下来是万众瞩目的安华及新闻部长的辩论，紧接著辩论过后，隔天，安华因鸡奸案被逮捕。再继续的事情是“今日马来西亚”网上报纸的主编拉惹伯特拉因在他的法定宣誓书上，诽谤副首相夫人和蒙古女郎的谋杀案有关，而也被逮捕，被控刑事诽谤。更不用说，警方设立路障，造成大塞车。
这几件大事，把国家严重的贪污事件给覆盖了。移民局的第一及第二号人物因贪污而别逮捕，没有被重视。反贪污局总监在评论这启贪污案的逮捕时说：“移民局的贪污非常广泛。。从上到下。。已经威胁到国家的安全了”。 这么严重 ！但他们没有在国家安全法令下被扣留，隔天后，都被保释出去。
这两位头号人物因利用签证收贿赂，特别是发给中国公民的非法签证。这部门头号人物贪污，你就可以想象到这个部门到底是个什么样的部门了。我朋友告诉我，在一个移民局的非法移民扣留所里，假如你要去见一位扣留者，你需要先买通守门的警卫，任何一路的买通直到扣留房的主管，才能如愿以偿的见到扣留者。
为什么这么严重的贪污案，没受关注？这可不必奇怪，因为这已是见怪不怪的事了。政府部门有贪污，已是人民心照不宣的公开秘密，就如水里有鱼般的觉得很自然的事。“大吃大，小吃小” “你知我知”。。。大家都知道就是啦。。！我们的政府，马来西亚人民，不会因这高官的贪污案，而觉得羞耻，或不好意思。
有趣的是，这项逮捕行动，是在首相阿都拉宣布在2010年把权力移交给目前的副首相后而进行的。我想阿都拉是要在他离开后，赚得一个改革者的美名吧。他大赞反贪局的成就，他的前下属贪污一事，好像当没事 ！移民局是归属在他曾掌管的内安部，他刚移交给赛哈密。
另一则新闻报导，在森美兰州的一个叫金马士的小镇，一名警员投报他的他的上司及整个警局的其他同僚，控诉他们吞掉了从非法活动中受到的贿赂金，没有分给他。这应该是世界新闻的头条。。真光荣。
前任警察总长，敦韩聂夫两年前曾说过，假如反贪污局要对警察作出贪污的调查，一半的警方人员，不需其他任何证据，只是生活超出了他们的收入，就可以把他们控上法庭了。。。哈哈哈。。
首相阿都拉在宣布改革司法及反贪污局时， 提到要模仿香港的 ICAC 独立反贪局，以更有效的铲除我国严重贪污现象。政府还派出了一个高级官员的代表团，到香港考察，学习。有好多警方高官参与，其中一位就是警察总长。你说会看到改革吗？哎呀，真是囧 ！
