Very suspicious incident.
ReplyDeleteI still remember the 2004 Penang JPJ records section fire that destroyed nearly all the Penang Vehicle Registration and Driver License records at Batu Uban.
This happened at a time when investigators were closing in on syndicates that managed to get stolen cars as well as "Kereta Potong" (cut-up and written off vehicles) re-registered with "proper" documents, abetted by corrupt JPJ staff.
In those days, JPJ was still dependent on paper records as the official vehicle registration, so the traceability of when and how the vehicles got registered was destroyed.
As Anwar Ibrahim closes in on deviations from Finance Ministry procedures in project awards and payments made especially during the 2020-2022 Covid-19 emergency, some officers who are implicated may well have disposed of their files and records and planned a convenient way to make it all go up in flames.
Beware, Anwar.....there are plenty of Hantu in the Malaysian Government bureaucracy.
