From Malaysiakini:
New MACC chief will send shivers down crooks' spines - NGOs
Putrajaya's decision to appoint lawyer Latheefa Koya as the new MACC chief commissioner has won praise from NGO leaders.
Taking to Twitter, former Malaysian Bar president Ambiga Sreenevasan (above) described it as another bold appointment by the Pakatan Harapan government.
“No doubt many crooks will be uncomfortable and terrified,” she added.
Though taken aback by the appointment, Centre to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4) executive director Cynthia Gabriel believes Latheefa possesses the right credentials for the task.
“I am completely taken by surprise but am happy about the choice. She is fearless, brave and a no-nonsense person. She will bring MACC to new heights.
“Although the appointment process should have been open to applications and reviewed by the parliamentary select committee, the random choice made in this case is a good one,” she told Malaysiakini.
Election watchdog Bersih's chairperson Thomas Fann echoed a similar sentiment but urged the former PKR member to be impartial.
“She is known to be a highly principled and courageous lawyer. Such qualities would make her a great chief of the MACC.
“She has to discharge her duties without fear or favour. Only time and actions will show if the government made the right decision,” he added.
Wakakakakaka…
ReplyDeleteSaid so much with saying nothing but a one-liner title superimposed on others' critical review!
Wordsmith, u r trying hard to earn yr keep le.
But will Latheefa ever investigate Mahathir's 1st Reich-scandals?
ReplyDeleteNo...wakakaka...
now if you had asked that same line of question when dzulkifli ahmad was the macc chief when najib held sway we would have overlooked your casting cynicism on latheefa which in my opinion is quite unfair
ReplyDeletemalu apa bossku had every excuse and opportunity to investigate maddy when he was boss, ask yourself why didn't he? tough ain't it when you can't produce a shred of concrete evidence, don't get me wrong, it would be great if we can get maddy, taib and daim too
Latheefa's quite toxic political activity in the last one year on behalf of the Dwarves does not inspire confidence that she will act courageously.
ReplyDeleteThere is a direct line from Latheefa =》 Dwarves =》 Mahathir agenda ( not necessarily Pakatan Harapan agenda)
get the UMNO_PAS bangsat First...then Sultan-Agong Land deals...last the Harapan people.....No problem there.... Its stupid to investigate Harapan First and the 60 years of Corruption Islam Arab Malays crooks remain free....Is the otak kosong bodoh when She investigate Harapan First!
