A fine serving of rotten fish-heads

In Selangor negeri maju dan bermaruah, a person does not have to be seen as having high moral values or even an incorruptible character (hahaha!) to hold an elected post in the state government. As long as the MB says "OK", then you are indeed OK and home-free.

Selangor state Executive Councillor (EXCO) for Religious Affairs, Youth and Community, Datuk Abdul Rahman Palil has been sued by Zarinah Abu Bakar for non-payment of a balance amount of RM311, 295.35 outstanding from a grand deal concocted to cash in on a piece of 11.2ha land in Sungei Buloh worth RM9.147 million which the Petaling District approved to Agmal Development Sdn. Bhd., a company originally owned by Zarinah. See the pertinent details of the shady deal here.

A Bernama news yesterday reported that:-

Selangor State Executive Councillor Datuk Abdul Rahman Palil has received a notice of bankruptcy requiring him to settle a debt of RM311,295.35, and Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo said Wednesday his position as a state executive councillor remains unaffected.
...
Abdul Rahman's position as state executive councillor was not an issue because he had only received a bankruptcy notice and had not been declared a bankrupt, Dr Mohamad Khir told reporters after chairing the weekly meeting of the state executive council.

Abdul Rahman, who is chairman of the Islamic Affairs, Youth and People Friendly Committee and assemblyman for Sementa, had engaged in the business prior to his appointment as an executive councillor.

Replying to a question, Dr Mohamad Khir said he did not see any problem with Abdul Rahman continuing to be an executive councillor.

This is what I mean by getting less than healthy fish-heads under the leadership of Pak Lah.

When Pak Lah endorses such people as state leaders, what else is to be expected from his kuncu-kuncu who runs the state government machinery? Even a post which supposedly rides the high moral ground like the chairman of Islamic Affairs, Youth & Community is not spared the ridicule of having someone so tainted sitting tight and comfy despite having a less than morally acceptable scandal swirling around him.

The message we get is: Hey, there's no need at all to be seen to be a clean and incorruptible person in BN government. Even if you get caught with your hands in the bin, it is still okay. What??? Did I hear Patrick and Aisehman saying "Tokkok"?? MB says OK means OK lah! Now, shut up!
