Parti Islam Se-Malaysia PAS mengalu-ngalukan Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) akan menyiasat 15 kes berdasarkan kepada laporan Ketua Audit Negara 2009, termasuk yang melibatkan di Kementerian Pertahanan sebanyak RM310, 000 untuk persiapan bilik VVIP di bawah Pakej Ransangan Ekonomi. Antara pembeliannya set lampu (chandelier) RM10 000, home theatre RM12,000, kertas dinding (wallpaper) RM95,800 dan set sofa RM13,000. Setiap kali laporan audit dikeluarkan menyebabkan rakyat yang prihatin sesak dada kerana memikirkan bagaimana wang negara dibelanjakan semacam harta emak bapa mereka, tanpa memikirkan rakyat yang masih ramai menderita. Kita tentu masih ingat bagaimana pendedahan yang dipetik dari Laporan Ketua Audit Negara 2006 tentang perbedaan ketara harga pasaran dengan harga yang dibayar untuk beberapa peralatan Institut Kemahiran Belia Negara (KBN) .Ramai terkejut bagaimana harga set screwdriver boleh menjadi RM224.94 sedangkan harga pasaran hanya RM40, harga kamera digital kodak melonjak kepada RM8,254.29 (harga pasaran RM2,990), set pasu plastik RM42.80 (harga pasaran RM5.20), settee 6 kerusi RM9,075 (harga pasaran RM1,500) dan 2 tonne jack RM5,741.69 (harga pasaran RM50). Lebih menarik lagi apabila pihak Audit tahun 2006 tidak dapat mengesahkan 14 bayaran kemajuan 6 buah kapal peronda (Petrol Vessel – PV) Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia yang berjumlah RM943.46 juta kepada kontraktor bagi tempoh Disember 1999 hingga Januari 2002 disebabkan baucer bayaran dan dokumen sokongan yang berkenaan telah hilang daripada simpanan Kementerian Pertahanan. Kos membina 6 buah PV ini ialah RM5.35 bilion. Baucer yang hilang bukan bernilai RM10, tetapi hampir RM1 bilion. Jika pegawai kerajaan yang buat tuntutan tol sebanyak RM 3 pun perlukan dokumen, tiba-tiba wang rakyat sebanyak RM 1 bilion diberi kepada kontraktor tanpa dokumen. Apa sudah jadi dengan negara kita? PAS berpendapat apa makna laporan audit yang saban tahun melaporkan cukup baik, malangnya yang memimpin negara tidak sensitif untuk memperbaiki penyelewengan. Sebab itu dalam laporan audit negara 2008 melaporkan berlaku ketirisan sebanyak RM 28 bilion. PAS mengharapkan supaya SPRM perlu bertegas dan mengharapkan supaya mereka yang bertanggungjawab atas kewangan awam mesti diheret ke pengadilan, termasuklah jerung yang bertaraf menteri. Pegawai tidak akan berani buat tanpa arahan orang atasan. Ustaz Idris Ahmad Ketua Penerangan PAS Pusat

Malaysia defends slide in global graft ranking

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Malaysia has stepped up efforts to combat graft to maintain investor confidence as a survey showed the country's corruption ranking worsened this year, Trade Minister Mustapa Mohamad said Wednesday.

Malaysia fell to 56th position out of 180 countries in Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index 2009, compared to 47th last year. The fall in ranking is due to the perception that there has been little progress and political will to combat graft.

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission appears to focus on "small fish" and opposition politicians, said the annual report by Transparency that was published Tuesday.

An opposition leader, Lim Kit Siang, called the downgrading a "national shame" and a major blow for Prime Minister Najib Razak, who declared the war against corruption as a key priority after taking power in April this year.

The trade minister said the government remained committed to weeding out graft but that measures would take time to bear fruit.

A government lawmaker and five other politically linked people were charged earlier this month with corruption in unrelated cases. It is rare for ruling party politicians to be charged with corruption.

"People have confidence in the measures that we have taken. The results will not come overnight but the results are beginning to show," Mustapa told reporters.

"We are quite confident that the next ranking exercise will see an improvement in Malaysia's position," he said.

Corruption is pervasive in Malaysia and ranges from small bribes to police officers to millions of dollars for contracts.
