High hurdles for new MACC chief


Last Friday saw three top officers leaving the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Abu Kassim Mohamed asked his contract to be terminated early, while his deputy Datuk Seri Shukri Abdull retired. Another Deputy Chief Commissioner, Datuk Seri Mustafar Ali, was transferred to head the Immigration Department.

Some friends have likened the day to the beginning of a purge. Given this leadership revamp at the agency, such a perception is understandable.
