Different agenda in fighting graft

Two different stories in local media today, on a very similar matter - fighting corruption.

First story talks about how the Chief Secretary to the government has instructed all heads of department to take disciplinary action against corrupt civil servants within six months.

This is to show that the government is strict about eradicating corruption, as promised by the prime minister.

And then we have the second story, which is about a 65-year-old man being sentenced to a day’s jail and fined RM2,500 or six months’ jail for bribing a cop. He is accused of giving RM1,000 to the policeman.

Now reading the two stories together, both published by New Straits Times in pages 9 and 22 respectively, we can gather a lot about Pak Lah’s battle against corruption.

You make up your own mind about it.
