not guilty then but guilty now...eh?

Yong under probe over RM5mil payout

KUALA LUMPUR: The Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) is investigating SAPP president Datuk Yong Teck Lee's role over the alleged payment of a RM5mil profit from the sale of shares belonging to a state-owned company to his agents in 1996 when he was the chief minister.

ACA director of investigations Datuk Shukri Abdul said the investigations, to be handled by the ACA headquarters, would cover abuse of power and the accepting of bribes.
Why after 12 years? Because he's deemed to be against the establishment now? Because he's not one of US anymore? Was bribery legal then? Is bribery legal if the accused is from the ruling party? Funny how things work in this country. Yeah, it's been that funny all along but reckon it's getting funnier by the day. And by the look of it, we'll be seeing more worms out of them cans and watching more stupid comedies being dished out. And all we can do is watch, with mouths gaping wide. Hopefully them flies won't be swarming.

I just love Malaysian politicians. Friends then enemies then allies then opponents then friends again. Files opened then closed then opened again then lost. Would have love them more if not for the shrinking spending power as the Ringgit just could not be stretched any further.
