VOTE BUYING - ISN'T IT CORRUPTION?


UMNO Disciplinary Board yesterday had found Malacca Chief Minister, Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam and MP for Rembau, Khairy Jamaluddin for vote buying in the forthcoming UMNO Elections.

But its surprising that Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam would still be the Malacca Chief Minister, while Khairy Jamaluddin, the MP for Rembau.

Vote buying means CORRUPTION and its an offence and these persons should be arrested and charged according to the laws of Malaysia.

Since they are UMNOputras, it seems UMNO Law has been applied, UMNOputras can do anything, but nothing happens.

Its time our UMNO-led Barisan Nasional federal government disclose to us why when its an offence, these persons are not arrested and charged and are able to keep their positions ?

I believe that Ali Rustam was found guilty of breaking UMNO election rules. Did it specify vote buying, which would then be an act of corruption ?

I think the UMNO Disciplinary Board was careful NOT to use words that implied corruption, thus avioding bringing in MACC.

However, let's see how this saga turns out. If the MACC does get involved, it will be bye-bye Ali Rustam as the message from the other side within UMNO is clear.

I agree with Purple Haze. UMNO Disciplinary Board was tip toeing on eggs.
