Press Statement on ACA Arrests: PKR Leaders Possible Victims of Entrapment

We are closely monitoring developments in the ACA investigation of the Perak Executive Councilors and others who were detained today. A thorough, transparent and professionally conducted investigation into the matter is the only way we can ascertain whether the bounds of the law have been transgressed. The manner in which the arrest has taken place indicates the possibility that the individuals involved may have been victims of entrapment. The timing of this incident also gives reason to suspect a political motive given our close proximity to the by-election in Permatang Pauh. Furthermore the swiftness of the ACA's action is wholly inconsistent with its handling of a number of other cases involving graft, including the much speculated Labuan case.

We hope the ACA would show the same degree of efficiency and enthusiasm with its investigations involving members of the Barisan Nasional.

The allegations of graft and influence peddling are among the most serious concerns of the Pakatan Rakyat and we have made substantial progress towards eliminating the vast amounts of corruption inherited from previous administrations. For example the Pakatan Rakyat governments have implemented open-tenders for government contracts, saving hundreds of millions of taxpayer Ringgit.

If the investigation proves that alleged misconduct did in fact occur in this matter then Keadilan and our partners in the Pakatan Rakyat will take swift action against those involved in any impropriety consistent with our commitment to good governance, transparency and accountability.

SYED HUSIN ALI
DEPUTY PRESIDENT

Saya yakin abang ANUAR boleh jadi pemimpin yang terkenal dalam masa terdekat.Usah panik dengan kumpulan Machievelli yang telah mula gelabah. Nak pertahan hak konon, Tapi, kalau tak kasi pulus, belah. itulah pejuang seorang UMCINO. Dah tahu pemfitnah-pemfitnah rebah seorang demi seorang,kerana apa, tuduhan tak masuk akal.Jenis tak pernah lihat dunia luar,asyik duduk dikedai kopi dekat kampong, cakap bergegar=gegar, tak sedar diri duduk dibawah tempurung. sedar lah sikit wahai bangsaku, runtuhnya empayar Melaka kerana bangsa hasat dengki kianat, buangkan PHD, Jangan abang ANUAR pula sumpah bangsanya sampai tujuh keturunan sebagaimana MAHSURI sumpah LANGKAWI. Ingatlah sejak fitnah memfitnah, dah berapa orang pemfitnah telah ditarik balik watikah hidup didunia, sedangkan kita tidak tahu, walau pun talkin dibaca, belum tentu dia masuk syurga, sebab Allah dah berwahyu, bahawasanya dia menjadikan Syurga Neraka.Insaf lah wahai bangsaku!!!
