Najib says culprits will face action, We are waiting!

The New Strait Times reported that Najib is disappointed over the irregularities and mismanagement as exposed by the Auditor-General report 2008.

Najib said:"I know and I am disappointed. This is a big government but once we start the key performance indicators and national key result areas, it will be a lot better."

What does this means? Are you saying that you are not going after those mentioned in the Auditor-General report? We are not keen about your Future KPI, we are keen that you take immediate action against those who misused the public funds!

According to the newspaper, Najib said the most important thing after the exposure was for the state governments, agencies and departments that had been taken to task by the auditor-general to take certain measures.

"We must take certain steps, for instance, punitive action. This is usually not seen.

"We need to reward performers while those who transgress (flout the rules and regulations) should face punitive action."

This needed to be done as part and parcel of good governance, Najib added.

So, it is nice to hear these, but it has been four days and we have seen no follow-up actions. I wonder what will happen 2 week later. When the main stream media start to raise other issues, which most people now talk about the 2009 Budget, the public will slowly forget about Auditor-General report and the Culprits go harmless.
The Auditor-General as been highlighting areas of weaknesses year in year out, but years after years, we hear the same report.

If Najib is serious about correcting the wrongs, he should instruct MACC to investigate all parties mentioned in the Auditor-General report from 2002 till now. Show us that you are serious in reform, otherwise, people will start losing faith in your leadership.
