JOHOR BARU, Nov 21 – The detention of six members of the Kota Tinggi Umno division youth wing on Friday shows that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission does not favour any party in carrying out its duty, Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman said today.
This was contrary to claims by many parties, especially the opposition parties, that the commission always favoured the governing political parties, he told reporters after opening the Regency Specialist Hospital in Seri Alam, Masai.
Abdul Ghani, who is also Johor Umno Liasion chief, said Kota Tinggi Umno division chief Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar had not briefed him on the matter.
At this point he said, the Johor Umno would leave it to the commission to investigate the case.
The six were alleged to have attempted to bribe three of the division's 18 youth committee members who quit last Sunday following a loss of confidence in the youth chief's leadership.
It is believed that the mass resignations prompted the suspects to “negotiate” with a former youth wing committee member to prevent an election for the wing.
The six, aged between 30 and 40, were picked up about 2am, at the committee member’s house after allegedly trying to coax him to withdraw his resignation by offering him RM40,000. – Bernama

MACC is really stupid with numbers. Always in a daze when it comes to many zeros. Getting one Toyol is better than getting 650 ikan bilis.

Catch a few ikan bilis to proof neutrality. The total amount this umnoputera ikan bilis morons swindled is not even matching 0.0000000000..................1% of Toyol stole.

You think we are stupid or what ? If MACC is "impartial, fair, neutral" and all that bull, it won't only be the lower ranks who are hauled up and charged. So, save your propaganda.

You are pretty dumb for an MB aren't you Ghani? Don't you realise the fact that you have to make such a statement proves that the whole thing is a charade. In a normal and fair world, the way of justice will prevail and you should not have to make stupid affirmations in support of a supposedly independent organisation. Idiot!

What a joke to say that arrest of those fall guys is proof of MACC neutrality. Anybody can see it is the cleansing of political rival within UMNO. Those in the wrong camp will find themselves at the wrong side of the law.

The best proof is when Khir Toyo is in court! These mosquitoes, who eventually will be acquitted, are not a measure of your "neutrality"

Everytime MACC arrest or detain some UMNO members for corruption someone will take great pain to tell the whole world that these arrests show that MACC does not favour any party. This is proof that MACC does favour selective prosecution. If not why keep on stressing that MACC favours nobody everytime they arrest some small fly from UMNO. By the way arresting them does not proof anything to me because at the end of the day "Buang Case" no further action.

Neutrality and impartiality is what is to be expected of the MACC as a matter of course!
It is not a gift from MACC to the people.
How on earth does such low quality and incapable people get selected to such crucial positions?
Their thinking and reasoning is so shallow and immature, it would have been funny had it not been for the unfortunate fact that it is Malaysia that these guys are screwing up!
It is understandable that there is a dearth of good people in UMNO/BN but there cannot be such a dearth of good and honorable people in Malaysia.

Still, it won't improve Malaysia's ranking in Transparency International annual report for 2010.
These are just 'sacrificial lamb' for the show. MACC itself is corrupt, headed by a man who condones child pornography, Datuk Ahmad Said.

Kachang kuda can be bought at the tepi jalan stall. How many packet does Ghani want to buy, We shall deliver them to his office.
As an MB, we expect something of more and greater substance to come out from him if he wants to protect the MACC who are little diffirent from the corrupt UMNO politicians. Ghani is going down K Toyol's way.

Haha..this Ghani Othman must be joking trying to prove that MACC does not favour any party....
These six goons are not even ikan bilis.....it goes toshow that MACC just want to show that it is impartial.
Why not go for real government crooks...like those RM 500 million commissions for the purchase of sub-marines, and jets, PKPZ scandals, etc etc

If you think by using the MACC to arrest some of the out-of favour UMNO members show the impartiality of MACC you must be seriously underestimating the intelligence of the Malaysian public. The MACC must truly get to the bottom of a lot of important cases that are obviously immuned from the law. We await action from the MACC.

We know that when you try to put thing right before the people you have to find a few scapegoat to fill the gap. This poor scapre goat is either being informed or are low low useless pariah that the power that be can effort to spare.
It will only convince us it some obvious top gun of the gomen be persecuted. If Lingam and the few judges are not persecuted for corruption nothing you do is going to make the Rakyat change their mind. Too many illegally practices and abuses have been committed for too long for few people to change their perception about you, umno/bn

Getting a few ikan bilis cannot comensurate in getting a big fish like Khir Toyol. That is why Malaysia corruption indexes is at its highest due to the goons in MACC bungling!

MACC opera show has just started. Because there is no takers for this show, Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman has to announced to the world about the opera show. What a low rated show.
