ACA to be fully independent

Press Statement Issued by the President of MCA, YB Dato Seri Ong Ka Ting

Dato’ Seri Ong Ka Ting as the President of MCA says that the party welcomes the move by the Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Abdullah Badawi to make the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) fully independent and answerable to the Parliament.

“We wish to see the performance of the ACA strengthened and a new political will being forged to ensure the independence of the ACA is truly upheld. We want the rakyat to understand that the BN government is serious about tackling corruption in the country, both in the public and private sectors. Accountability must also be all encompassing to include the integrity of the entire system and respect for the moral values of our society.”

“It is through the collective responsibility of the Parliament that decisions can be made, without fear or favour over the cases.”
