Khir Toyo: What sauce for the goose is not sauce for the gander

Hantu Laut

Interesting! Khir Toyo getting only one year for the magnitude of his crime as compared to former immigration deputy director-general Yusof Abu Bakar who was sentenced to a total of 56 years and fined RM620,000 on 14 counts of corruption.

All forms of corruption are wrong and should not be tolerated but I believe the severity of the punishment should reflect the severity of the crime.

In the case of Yusof, not only corruption the root of his problem, but he has also, by his action, endangered national security by allowing aliens easy access to this country.

Though the sentences were to run concurrently Yusof would still have to serve minimum 0f 6 years in prison. The core of his case was RM121,500 he took from a businessman who wanted to bring a number of Chinese nationals, presumably, China Dolls for the purpose of prostitution.

There have also been cases of shoplifters getting 2 to 3 years imprisonment for first offence and amount so small, as a layman, it's just perplexing and too confusing to understand our justice system, or was it different strokes for different folks, the rabble deserves heavier penalty even for petty larceny.

It would be interesting to see what awaits Khir Toyo when his appeal came up for hearing.

The PKR Witch Hunters

Hantu Laut

Selangor state government and its Chief Minister Khalid Ibrahim is going all out to dig up the dirt on former Menteri Besar Khir Toyo here and here and here and here.

The witch hunting has been going on since the day Khalid stepped into office as MB of Selangor.One of the highlights of the witch hunt was his overseas travel expenses amounting to RM350,000 over a period of 7 years.I wonder whether it is worth the time and money to waste human resources on such petty matters.The amount doesn't seem a lot.Than there were accusation of his wife being given a Range Rover from a state subsidiary.

As menteri besar I am sure Khir is entitled to certain benefits including the use of his official car by his spouse.As chairman of the company and if he is entitled to the Range Rover than there is no reason his spouse can't use the vehicle.

Maybe, Khalid should engage an independent external auditor to audit all the books of the state government for the past 50 years.

It's about time Khalid gets down to do serious work for the state instead of looking for past mistakes and misdeeds of the former government.He should hand over to the MACC whatever evidence he has to prove wrongdoings of former MB Khir Toyo instead of flippantly making and publicising allegations of wrongdoings that has no rhyme nor reason.
