The declassification of documents deemed as official secrets by the Selangor government should be applauded and not condemned. On revelation of the contents of the documents, it became crystal clear that the act was used to hide sinister dealings by the BN government. As most of us understand, the OSA was to ensure the security of nation would not be jeopardized. So can some one in the BN government explain how a housing project that was abandoned can affect the security of the nation. And how a logging and reforestation concessions involving 11,000 ha given to several companies could be classified under OSA.
The Penang govt. is next in line to declassify a document related to the conversion of a parcel of land from lease hold to free hold. Again how this is related to national security is baffling. It is now hoped that other PR states will follow suit and expose BN’s wrong doings. We can’t expect the police or the MACC to do much, but at least the public will know who to vote for in the next GE.
The public has long been convinced that the BN government was corrupted to the core . On Tuesday, the anti-graft watchdog Transparency International (TI) reconfirmed this perception when it announced that its global Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) 2009 saw Malaysia falling from 47 to 56 position. And even a BN component party, Gerakan, wants the government to intensify its efforts to rid corruption. These are proof and admission that corruption is still rampant in the ruling coalition. So all these rhetorics about fighting corruption by the PM and his cronies are just noises designed to enhance the image of the PM before the 13 GE. But we the rakyat knows better. And so if there are still dumbs dumbs who still want to put the BN in power, then be prepared see your hard-earned money go to feed the corrupted BN cronies, and stop whinning when you see the RM24 million mansion of a dentist or the palace of a railway gate-keeper.
