Why is MACC so slow to act on Khir Toyo's Disneyland escapade with his Family and maid?

After looking into PNSB's dealings , Selcat have revealed khir toyo's abuse of his position by using funds from Statutory Bodies to pay for his family trip to disneyland.He and his wife were given every opportunity to defend and rebut all those allegations adduced during the course of the Selcat hearing but both of them chose not to attend the hearing.The CEO of the GLC could not have contrived or manufactured the evidence which confirmed the trip was paid for his wife, children and maid.

These are serious allegations of a public servant using public funds for his personal expenditure. The payments made were all supported and documented by the Statutory Bodies accounts.The witnesses including the CEO have testified that the whole trip for Khir Toyo's family including the children and maid was paid by PNSB. The evidence adduced during Selcat's hearing should have been sufficient to indict Khir Toyo on several charges of corruption.Now the question remains to be answered is why is MACC adopting the 'elegant ' silence approach when it was quick to reproach M.B Khalid for donating a few cows to his constituency using PNSB's money?

Are we to believe that MACC is adopting a selective prosecution approach in discharging their duties? It appears quite evident that Opposition politicians are being selectively hounded by MACC whilst B.N's politicians corrupt practices are been ignored. As a concern public citizen I would demand the MACC Chief to account for his reason why they have not been impartial in carrying out their sacred duty of investigating and prosecuting all politicians irrespective of their political divide.If they are impartial as they claim to be then we demand an immediate investigation and prosecution of Khir Toyo's corrupt practices. Public servants who dipped their hands in govt coffers must be brought to book and we shall not accept any lesser punishment for the former menteri Besar, Khir Toyo.Any punishment meted and that includes custodial sentence imposed should served as a deterrent to all those public servants who have abused their position by dipping their grubby hands in govt funds to finance their family and personal lifestyle using taxpayers money.
