Wine experts say this is a bad practice and one cannot expect any improvement in the quality of the wine.
Some malaysiakini readers have this impression of that much publicised new institution to combat corruption ie the MACC(Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) or "Malaysian Agency for Cars and Cows"(described by Lim Kit Siang) as suggested in this article 'A bad start off the blocks for MACC'.
I think most Malaysians are wondering why it has taken so long after the findings of the infamous Lingam tapes were released for the MACC to act. Politicaly incorrect?
So let's not get fooled about putting old wine in a new bottle - the wine remains just as bad.
We probably spent another RM200k for the whole rebranding package for what? Some will suggest it was a face-saver for the PM in his enforced retirement.

BN's unscrupulous responses to its March 2008 elections losses are so clearly orchestrated, so blatantly disrespectful of the rakyat. They use every institution available to them to fight back against PR, regardless of the credibility cost, which has never been much of an asset nor precondition to stay in power.
BN's fight is about the survival of the fittest. But Darwin found that its not the strongest who survive, but those most adaptable to change. Along these lines, BN may well be regarded as a dinosaur who is incapable of adapting but still believes that its size and powers will sustain its survival. Surely, BN would happily settle for another million years, but in 10 years time, it will be over.
Question is, however, how far Malaysians are willing to go in instituting diversified and participatory democracy, or that they will allow BN to survive as an ever present party that lurks to repossess power. Malaysia wouldn't be the first country that hands back power to its previous public enemy after one or a couple of terms of democratic salvation.
Thanks for your comments.
I watched a TV program about combating corruption in Indonesia and they have thousands of schools there where young children are taught about corruption using a small stall with goods for sale but no one collecting money.
You take the goods and pay into an open bag so that you can practise honesty from young.
Not sure though if that will work in Malaysia.
