Tony Thien's report in Malaysiakini, 'I stopped PM from ordering Yong's arrest' raises serious questions about the ACA's independence. Ex-SAPP deputy president, Raymond Tan is reported to have said that he had been instrumental in preventing the arrest of party president Yong Teck Lee in June in relation to allegations of corruption.
He said he had pleaded with the Prime Minister not to arrest Yong as it would be a bad move, and had even gone on television with a plea to allow the latter to speak up.SAPP's newly-appointed Information Chief Chong Pit Fah is quoted as having described Raymond Tan's revelation as a a shocking revelation.
Indeed, this is a stunning disclosure which points to the question that has dogged the ACA; is the ACA truly independent? This requires a response from the Director-General of the ACA, for all it's worth.
As if he hasn't got enough issues on his plate, BN loyalist Raymond Tan has inadvertently dealt Pak Lah and the BN with another major blow by this disclosure. Now the Prime Minister has to respond to this issue.
For truly, with friends like these, who needs enemies?
