COMMENT | Is M'sia ready to place MACC under Parliament purview?

COMMENT | Recently, the media reported that Rasuah Busters have called for the MACC to be placed under the purview of Parliament.

They believe there is an urgent need for MACC to be truly independent and free to exercise its function without any interference by the executive body.

A reasonable inference which may be possibly drawn from this call is that MACC is apparently perceived to be not free and independent. At least that has been the perception in the eyes of Rasuah Busters.

Whether such a perception is correct or not is beyond the scope of this article.

Anyway, in penning this article, we dont intend to descend into such a polemic or debate, namely is MACC really free and independent...
