When Credibility is Lost
It is interesting to read the various responses of people in regards to the mysterious death of Teoh Beng Hock (TBH) in the Malaysia Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) Head Quarter Building.
It appears that both the Police Force and MACC have all but lost their credibility and legitimacy. This is bad news for the country. Especially considering the importance of these two institutions.
What ever investigation results posted by the police into TBH's death is questioned and no longer deemed believable by the public. People just don't believe the words said by our police force anymore.
MACC didn't fair any better. Actually, MACC is doing much much worse than that of the police force in terms of their trust worthiness in the public eyes. It boggles the mind that why MACC could not see the blatant double standard platform they are operating on. On one hand, they are aggressively pursuing cases that amounting to RM2,400.00 (yeah, two thousands and four hundred ringgit, you read it right), yet on the other hand, they are doing nothing on cases amounting to millions (RM 30 millions mansion in Shah Alam) and billions (PKFZ). It seems, MACC is more interested in championing their course of losing credibility than their cause of fighting corruptions.
Then, we have a nincompoop (one with a PhD) jumping the gun to question the morality of the decease. It seems that he considered himself qualify to police the morality of TBH because of his ethnicity, and religion background. In my opinion, his ethnicity and his religion inclination doesn't matter at all. He might consider himself pious and religious, but in my eyes, he is not even qualified to call himself a human being. Why? Because he lack one of the most important characteristic of humanity: Sympathy with the misfortune. What he did was tantamount to pouring salt onto the open wounds of the aggrieved family who had recently lost a loved one in questionable circumstances. After being vilified of his actions, He has shown no remorse. Instead he chose to sow mistrust by spilling hate statements.
What offer my hope in this beloved country is that there are many who sees through his shallow and narrow racist rants. People, it seems to me, is beginning to be enlighten.
