		<description>So… the PKFZ’s report is out……… some of the culprits had been identified….but…. most unfortunately…. There is no indication that the rakyat will get back their money and have their on-going liability relating to the scandal erased………… yes…. these culprits may end up in jail… but what is the point………rakyat want the money back…. 
	
If you caught a thief, you would probably prefer to get you money and things back apart from wanting him to be put in jail……that ‘s a reasonable request…..is it not!!!!

It is unfortunate that as a matter of fact you need to catch a thief red-handed before you can call him a thief. If the present government has no intend to catch the thief, it would be difficult for the general public including opposition party to do so. What they can only do is to make so noises and expose some of the wrong doing based on obvious violation of standard procedures. But the Government machinery is a complex web of bureaucracy, to get into the core of the problems would not be an easy task…… however, if culprits who benefit little from the deal are charged and put into jail, the truth has a better chance to be revealed……

The powerful and rich ex-politicians and government’s servants have no fear knowing the government and some powerful businessman are behind them… and…. more importantly they have plenty of money to fight till the end……knowing that the final outcome ……would be... they are found innocent ….and….. the Government admit that there is loophole in the standard procedures and …….the story end here…….as the Government will only act to the extent that their self-serving interests are not affected by the exposition.</description>

		<description>So…. after a long deliberation……….. reluctantly…. I presumed…. they decided to freeze the…… wing of KDSB… and…. a small portion of the ‘alleged’ ill-gotten proceeds …. and….  a small plot of land!!! 

The government…. however….. still allows them to travel in style in their Mercedes and Limousines…………and let them keep their private cash……..

One wonder…. however… How much else is hidden somewhere on earth ….or… may I say…. The moon!

So…..now….it appears ….the government has decided to……….. aim for………..asking the ‘alleged culprit’s company… unfortunately, not the politicians that are alleged to have been involved in the scandal…. to regurgitate … some of the …..alleged over-certified payment…..and….. not pressing for ….corruption  charges….. just to satisfy some of the MCA members before their AGM that their chief is a “hero’….and……to convince some naïve general public……..as to the government’s political will to clean the country of corruption!

One thing you have to know is……… the company appears to be guilty of the alleged wrong-doing…. Not individual…………..in another word…. The minority shareholders of KDSB are as guilty as the majority shareholders as to the alleged wrong doing albeit they may eventually be the victim of the unfortunate circumstances………….. 

So…. if you hold KDSB’s shares…..and if the allegation subsequently proved to have footing….. may I remind you that you are as guilty as the CEO…. as you have condoned his action……..!

My prediction is… the government…..next step is to freeze the consultant’s assets to ensure that they have the reserve to pay back some of the professional fees that have been over-certified…….and … after that……….. nothing will happen………. and the case goes cold….. as opposition take over the government………………and… rakyat continue to suffer from the aftermath……the day after the scandal……….. the rakyat is still the biggest loser…….

So… scandal makes good news……..unfortunately……in any scandal the main actors get all the goodies….. and the audience suffers……… as they have to pay for the tickets… to watch ….. to read…. and to suffer in silence ……</description>

		<description>human being will be extinct if no one produce in a hundred or so years!

corruption will be extinct if the pursue for the culprit is relentless and supported by political will all the way from PM to the government servants including the police.

if people perceive the government as corrupt, whatever the government seek to do... even if they benefit the people eventually .....will be viewed as a mean to enrich themselves. just like.... if your best friend betray you, whatever endeavors or subsequent remedial he attempt to make to win back you trust will be futile.

Hitherto, the BN&#039;s government has lost the people&#039;s trust and the opposition has yet to gain people&#039;s complete trust. so..... in a way... Malaysia is in a cross road;.... whereas... Malaysian is in a dilemma as to who to choose.........................................
in a nut shell therefore.... Malaysia is not going anyway until .........corruption is completely stamped out! 

Malaysia will go somewhere.... but don&#039;t know where..... if opposition take over the country........unless the first step... if they ever take over........is to stamp out corruption follow only then by catching the culprit ....... it would be grave mistake if the first thing is to go for is religion reform or political reform or education reform or any other reform that are second to corruption..... USSR get split into small pieces because they go for political reform instead of financial reform... whereas China becomes a financial power house and super power because they opt for financial  before political reform.

why...... you may ask.... it is simply because if you are bleeding... the first thing to do is not thinking about religion... or stock market... or to further your education..... it should simply to stop the bleeding. right now... Malaysia is bleeding to death financially due mainly to corruption....... the government is only doing half using rakyat&#039;s duit... half is finding it way to the politician and businessman&#039;s pocket.....

it is disappointing that the present government lack the political will to stamp out corruption.....there is even signs that the corruption is worst than before........an indication that the politician and those businessman who depend on BN&#039;s political connection to secure projects..... on fearing BN may loss the next general election are shipping out all the goodies &amp; treasures from the sunken ship.....and leave behind.... shits and liabilities.... for the next captain of the ship to enjoy.......

the opposition must be vigilant on this possibility; and, there is no point taken over a sinking ship..... just like president obama taking over bush junior&#039;s sunken ship.....

so... if there are 100 PKFZ scandals....... there is no point taking over the administration or the government!!!!!!!!!!! for there is no more money left to plan for Malaysia&#039;s future...........

so......if the government keep issuing secure bond and financial notes to finance the mega project......... there is no point taking over the Government since the overall revenues collected from taxes are only sufficient to service the loan repayment... unless you create a Mega &#039;Ponzi&#039; scheme to cheat rakyat......

so...... is opposition party aware of this? i wonder.......</description>

		<description>Malaysia&#039;s politic is a legalized con-business venture or an institution where the cunning and the shrew make use of people&#039;s trust to enrich themselves.
So, wake up my friend! There is no such a thing as “people first, politic second” in Malaysia’s politic. It is more like “politician first, politician’s immediate family second and politician’s relative third, and…...people like you and me out of radar screen!” This slogan together with many others is designed as cream on the cake to hide what is actually lay beneath it. 
It seems to me that Malaysia is sick and Malaysian is feeling insecure, so many &#039;creative&#039; slogans are necessary to hold Malaysian together. It reminded me of communism countries - china &amp; USSR especially- during the cold war where slogans about unity and stand together as a nation are so plentiful that they can even be found in the toilet! Politician will yak about it every where they go and the state owned media and radio stations will broadcast them every hours or so.
Is Malaysia turning into a communist state? i wonder..... !
You want the politician to perform! you must be kidding me! But one thing for sure they are a financial wizard,an excellent rakyat blood sucking Dracula. They will hypnotize you using what-you-like-to-hear slogan before sucking you dry!</description>

		<description>Teresa:

So if you want the truth, go for the consultant! Consultants and government servants owing to their unfortunate position in society are often the instrument of the powerful politician and businessman. 

The politician and businessman are used to political pressure and police interrogation but not the consultant. They both know exactly how to wipe their faces squeeze clean after a hefty meal! 

In the course of the project, the consultants need to fabricate fictitious facts and works regularly in order to satisfy the constant siphoning of project funds demanded by the politician and businessman. Hence, their faces are always dirty and they have little time or opportunity to wipe them off! They will have to fabricate a lot of lies to cover the previous lie! That’s where they can easily make a mistake!

The consultants get the least out of the deal. As they have little wealth to defense themselves, they are more likely to crack under pressure; and, as such disclose the truth. 

Even if they crack under pressure, chances are they have very little knowledge of how the ill-gotten wealth was distributed, so the investigation will hit a dead end. 

If you have read a few recent high profile cases on corruption, all are acquitted and they are politician and high ranking government servant! So do not be surprised the same will happen in PKFZ. 

In the case of PKFZ, the investigation will hit a dead end. The consultant and the government servants involved will take the full beating! They will be the scapegoat; they will be fined and jailed. The politician will be free so will the businessman.

Not that the judicial system do not work, it is just that the politician and businessman out smart the system! The trick is simple, i.e. do not leave any paper trail; and, if you are caught blame them all on the negligence of the consultant and the ignorant of the government servants!</description>

<p>Even if they crack under pressure, chances are they have very little knowledge of how the ill-gotten wealth was distributed, so the investigation will hit a dead end. </p>
<p>If you have read a few recent high profile cases on corruption, all are acquitted and they are politician and high ranking government servant! So do not be surprised the same will happen in PKFZ. </p>
<p>In the case of PKFZ, the investigation will hit a dead end. The consultant and the government servants involved will take the full beating! They will be the scapegoat; they will be fined and jailed. The politician will be free so will the businessman.</p>
<p>Not that the judicial system do not work, it is just that the politician and businessman out smart the system! The trick is simple, i.e. do not leave any paper trail; and, if you are caught blame them all on the negligence of the consultant and the ignorant of the government servants!</p>

		<description>Teresa: 
you need to understand the basic of corruption mechanism in Malaysia or all over the world!

Let me elaborate:

Firstly, for corruption to occur you need one powerful politician, one shrew businessman or woman, and one out-of-line consultant.
The politician will use his/her power to award, the businessman use his dirty money to chase after good money and the consultant to create mega project.
The conspiracy or the entire syndicate is protected by the consultant.
secondly, if the dirty deal is exposed owing mainly to unequal distribution of profit, the politician will claim that he/she is unaware of the irregularity as he/she acted based on consultant’s recommendation. The businessman will claim that he is paid based on consultant’s certification. 
Based on this valid line of defense, there is only professional negligence on the part of the consultant and no corruption. 
The worst scenario will be the entire syndicate is charged with conspiracy to cheat. The best scenario, which often is the case, they just regurgitate the money they greedily swallowed. However, under such circumstance, the advanced payment to politician- since there is no record of the transaction- is locked in account somewhere in the world.
So if you are accusing politician or businessman of corruption practice without knowing how the corruption mechanism works, you will have a handful of problem. That’s what happens to MCA’s chief!</description>

		<description>As I have mentioned before, MCA and other ruling component parties who claim to represent the rakyat are NO MORE, I repeat NO MORE relevant since 0308. These guys are just a bunch of parasites.
Particularly that MCA guy &quot;OKT&quot; ooppps... OTK talks like a canon. Very loud but never ever accurate. This goes to show the type of people who are supposed to represent the rakyat or for that matter the chinese community. 
And for the release of the PKFZ scandal report, the rakyat will have to wait until the cows come home. If the report ever comes out, I can guarantee it will be a &quot;cut and paste&quot; version.</description>

		<description>the report is not going to be released out until there is ratification within the BN! how to simpan all the dust and their dirty laundry under their own carpet!

OTK is the same like any other MCA leaders who are only taking care of their own pockets and claiming themselves helping the chinese community in M&#039;sia.

Pray such leaders shall perish fm M&#039;sia politic arena. Vote for DAP, PAS, PKR!.... let BN tumble! teach them a lesson!</description>

		<description>As a responsible professional firm, PwC would have contractually stated that their audit report be accepted in toto i.e they will not sign off any cut &amp; paste reports. For example, in order to save somebody from prosecution or further investigations, OTK may want to omit certain part of the reports. PwC will not allow it if it impairs the findings even though PKZ is a paying client. So that may be the reason for them to delay the release or they may still be in negotiations on what can or cannot be reported. So really don&#039;t be too impatient.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s one main reason we can think of why there is a further delay in releasing the PKFZ scandal report. The Transport Minister who is MCA President is busy fighting with his No. Two so much so that he does not have enough time to get ready with the report that the rakyat demanded to know. Or the losses of the PKFZ scandal get rising with billions by the year so much so that there must be some manipulation to do to get to the right figure to deceive the public before releasing the report.

When will the report be out now? Your guess is as good as mine!</description>

		<description>If PwC is the hurdle, we should question PwC:
1) What consent they need to release the report?
2) Do they understand what is their role as an auditor? 
3) Who are the (actual) stakeholder in this audit vs. who pay them the audit fees?

Is PwC following what Arthur Anderson had done to Enron?</description>
