Tribunal Must Be Set Up To Try Past Politicians

When the final curtain closes on the B.N govt which had governed this nation for 51 years, a tribunal should be set up to try those politicians who have manipulated our country's Judiciary, the Police, the Attorney- General office and all the tainted public instituitions which had become beholden to their political masters.Included in this category should be those who had used and abused their position in office in furtherance of their political ambitions.

Begining with the last Prime Minister,Mahathir, his legacy was fraught with monumental corruption .During his 22 years tenure he had used govt resources to bail out his son's ailing shipping company, gave lucrative contracts to his children and cronies and in the process enriched himself with wealth that far exceeded his remuneration as the Prime Minister of this country.

Next would be the incumbent Prime Minister who had also used his position to secure contracts and services for his son's business and also for his son-in-law, Khairy.He should then be investigated for the abuse of his powers in using the ISA to incarcerate civilians and politicians who had not threatened national security but were mere ordinary citizens and politicians who had expressed contradictory views of govt policies.

All ministers from the B.N who had amassed huge fortunes beyond what they should have earned and in this category, Ling Liong Sik, Samy Vellu , Daim Zainuddin, Najib ,former Negri Sembilan M.B Mat Isa , former Selangor M.B Muhammad Taib, Sarawak Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud, and the Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman .In addition the rogue gallery of politicians who had plundered the nation's coffers should further include all Ministers and M.Bs whose wealth were obtained under dubious circumstances.

The ACA should also be empowered to investigate thorughly the background of all those personalities mentioned above and from the basis of their report they should be charged in a court of law for corruption and other abuses perpetuated during the course of their tenure.

In order for our nation to move forward we must spare no effort to ensure that future leaders will not succumb to the same temptation that beseech our past leaders and which sadly have caused our nation to descend the slippery slope of self destruction.
