Is DAP so sacred that it cannot be investigated by the MACC?

Earlier, Malaysian Insight reported, Deputy Chief Minister II of Penang urged the MACC to stop interfering with the state government over investigations into tunnel project corruption cases.

MACC wasting time harassing Penang leaders over tunnel project, says Ramasamy | The Malaysian Insight

THE Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission should not waste its time searching for corruption in the Penang undersea tunnel project, said Deputy Chief Minister II P. Ramasamy. The Penang leader, whose office MACC officials visited yesterday as part of investigations into the RM6.3 billion project, said the commission should stop harassing the DAP-led Penang government.

It was following the MACC’s investigation into Ramasamy’s office and an Exco, Zairil Khir Johari at the state government administration building in Komtar. 

Ramasamy said there was no wrongdoing (corruption and corruption) in the project.

After all, if not investigated, how can we determine whether there is corruption or not? 

Anyone can doubt that since April 2013, the feasibility study of the tunnel project - at a cost of RM305 million - has not been finalized to date. Just the report, not the construction yet.

Najib snipes at creeping pace of RM305 mil Penang tunnel study

PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Najib Razak today questioned the creeping pace of a feasibility study for the proposed Penang undersea tunnel project, after the state government said it was now only 90% completed. Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow had said today the study was still not ready and was only 90% completed.

The MACC has opened 6 investigative papers - (1 paper in July 2017, 5 papers in January 2018). Ramasamy himself was previously questioned for six hours by the MACC on February 14, 2018.

On March 4, 2019, the MACC made a media statement: 5 investigative papers have been submitted to the prosecutor (read: Attorney-General), but 3 of them have been returned to the MACC, 2 of which are still under investigation. Another paper is still under investigation by the MACC.

Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) - MACC Opens 6 Investigation Papers On Penang Undersea Tunnel Project

Following a recent investigation into Penang’s undersea tunnel case, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has confirmed that the opening of six investigation papers on the matter. The first investigation paper was opened in July 2017 while five more were opened in January 2018.

After the PH government was overthrown by its own PM, and the MACC Chief Commissioner and Attorney General resigned and replaced, legal investigations and procedures could be carried out vigorously. 

Earlier, MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki admitted the case had been delayed. He also said the investigation papers would be handed over to the prosecution within two to three weeks.

Back to Ramasamy - be it corruption, LTTE or crime, as long as it is related to the DAP, it is the habit of the party leaders to argue with the authorities.
