A few weeks ago, G25 member Tawfik Ismail urged the abolition of the Malaysian Islamic Development Agency (Jakim). He was short-sighted. He should have added the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to the list of agencies bound for the scrapheap.

Why? The latest absurdity from the MACC is that it cannot reveal the donor of Najib Abdul Razak’s RM2.6 billion because it violates the MACC Act 2009 . So, after months of detailed investigation and probably millions of ringgits in manpower and resources, we are back to square one.

Is it any wonder that a few hapless individuals join banned terrorist organisations, out of sheer frustration, hoping that they can make a difference through violence?
