Edmund Terence Gomez, the MACC and the need for an open investigation — GERAK | Malay Mail

JAN 3 — We in GERAK are deeply concerned about the recent resignation of respected scholar, Edmund Terence Gomez, from the MACC advisory panel.

Instead, we have witnessed defensive, deflective statements being reported in the media, contradicting Gomez and seemingly attacking him for his public expose. This is what Gomez has done, carrying out his duties as an academic, as a public intellectual. He has done this in an open manner, not like conniving individuals and parties acting surreptitiously away from the public gaze, and for their selfish interests.

Indeed, in this regard, it has been reported that: “On Dec 14, Sungai Buloh MP Sivarasa Rasiah had filed an urgent motion for the Dewan Rakyat to discuss Azam’s alleged ownership of close to two million shares in a public listed company.”. Alleging now that they received no alert or request from Gomez really means nothing in the overall scheme of things. If they are not willing to respond, we in GERAK believe that the Prime Minister, Ismail Sabri Yaacob, must do so, since the MACC falls under the purview of the Prime Minister’s Office .First, the PM must initiate an independent investigation into the allegations, preferably by a bi-partisan Parliamentary Committee.
