After Phang saga, MACC’s reputation still in tatters — The Malaysian Insider


January 27, 2011

JAN 27 — The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) was supposed to be the centrepiece of Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s reform drive.

By reorganising the previous Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) into the MACC, the Abdullah government had given the anti-graft drive more bite and it was supposed to embark on a massive clean-up of the public sector.

That was the plan anyway.

But from its inception the MACC has been at the centre of controversy.

The death of Teoh Beng Hock in 2009 stands out as an example of the controversies the MACC has found itself in.

MACC’s continuing court losses in high-profile cases are another.

And the most recent was the unprecedented decision to give Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail a private hearing over allegations of an improper relationship with someone close to Tan Sri Tajuddin Ramli, who was the subject of a graft probe.

Make no mistake, the MACC’s corruption prevention panel’s decision to meet Tajuddin was a private hearing.

Panel member Tan Sri Robert Phang has said Abdul Gani’s explanation to the panel had failed to dispel suspicions that he was “consorting” with Shahidan Shafie, a proxy for former MAS executive chairman Tajuddin.

Tajuddin was MAS executive chairman from 1994 to 2001. During his tenure, the national airline experienced losses totalling RM8 billion — its biggest ever — which led to complaints being lodged against him.

Since then Phang has become the subject of an Internet smear campaign, alleging his involvement in graft in Sabah.

A number of pro-Umno blogs have been attacking Phang with little evidence since the MACC panel member started his own attacks against Abdul Gani.

Which leads us to Phang’s decision today to quit the MACC panel.

Phang explained that he wanted to preserve his integrity and that of the anti-graft body.

Notably, Phang said today that the character assassination attack was an orchestrated attempt to discredit his reputation by “rogues from within and outside the government”.

He said he was not surprised that the attacks are also centred on his past business in Sabah as Abdul Gani and deputy minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, Datuk V.K. Liew, are also from Sabah.

Liew had urged the MACC to initiate an investigation into Phang after the allegations of bribery emerged on an online blog.

It is unclear if the MACC will now respond by probing Phang.

But what is clear is that the MACC’s reputation continues to be in tatters.
