malaysiakini and UMNO CORRUPTION

The malaysiakini article has an apt description Umno graft probes 'only tip of iceberg'.
Based on events during the past 4 years, Malaysians know that there are many problems facing the nation and part of the blame can be placed on own shoulders as we allowed the politicians to carry on for more than 50 years without proper checks and balances.
We have seen the deterioration in so many state institutions like the Judiciary, the police and the manner in which national policies like the NEP have been hijacked and "piratised" for the benefit of the connected cronies.
Things got so bad that we had to create the Royal Commission to investigate the police but the government has become so involved in corrupt practises that it could not even enforce the findings of the Royal Commission that saw the police rejecting the IPCMC.
Now we are still awaiting definite actions against the 4 VVIPs found wanting in integrity during the Lingam tapes inquiry - yet another public inquiry with lots of smoke and fire but no firemen to fight the blaze.
So excuse me for also having the uncomfortable feeling that this type of corruption action is just to appease the masses and not a definite change of heart.
Let the corruption continue as it will enable the voters to make a clear choice in the next general elections.
