A veteran PKR MP has asked how the country can hope to fight corruption when certain “elitists” can get “discounts” on their punishment despite being convicted in court.
Pasir Gudang MP Hassan Abdul Karim from Pakatan Harapan raised the question when debating a motion of thanks on the Agong’s royal decree, in which the monarch expressed his wish to see an all-out war against corruption in the country.
Hassan also criticised the authorities’ alleged double standards when investigating and prosecuting corruption suspects, especially in cases that involve pro-government politicians.
