MACC boss is world's 4th most influential




100 most influential persons in business ethics. Abu Kasim Mohamed, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission boss, has been listed down as the fourth most influential person in the world by Ethisphere. No mean feat. Last year, Ethisphere listed Barack Obama as the 33rd most influential, see here.

    Salam Saudara Rocky, Saya nak tanya sedikit, mengapa Kerajaan Malaysia mmemberi anugerah tokoh mall hijrah kepada Saudara Yusof Qardawi? Sedangkan dalam tulisan yang kamu tulis , mengatakan beliau ada hubungan dengan pihak perlampau atau militant Islam.

    Congratulations.

    Now can he moves and mobilizes all of the Macc's resources to investigate the Scorpene & Sukhoi corruption scandal and also of the two most corrupt East Malaysia's CMs who had amassed billions of wealth each.

  7. Sorry, I'm not impressed.

    Out of the blue, he was among the top in the world! Questions that come to my mind would include: Who are these people or organization which most of us have never heard of? What are the criteria used? How many were in the competition? So on and so forth.

    Kassim has been head of MACC for only a short period. It seems like a joke to most people who have been complaining about certain big fishes pointed out by people, with proof of wealth way beyond their official earnings, but who appear to be immune to investigation and seems permanently out of their radar screen!

    Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace prize early into his presidency so that he could be "motivated" to work for world peace. Same logic here ?

    But some only care anything and everything about Al-Jubor....

    Maybe they are used to 'sniffing' him only?

  15. A man whose name 3/4 of M'sians won't recognise is the 4th most influential boss in the world?

    I think it was Najib himself who warned his people against the 'Shiok sendiri' illusion.

    Note too that influential does not equate with integrity, honesty, capablity or a person who embraces great ethics or principles!

    I wonder how much APCO was paid for this plant.

    It's hard to satisfy every individual.

    It ain't an easy feat.
    It's not as if anybody would LOVE to shoulder that responsibility.

    Well done, keep up the good effort and REMEMBER: Rakyat ain't just watchers anymore.

  18. So influential and yet without the wherewithals to do anything about Taib Mahmud. Or is Taib in a different country altogether? Maybe Sarawak Report's latest report is just too confusing for him to understand.

  22. THanks Anon 3.59 am. I see the detractors have kept very quiet about the MACC's latest scoop - Chan Kong Choy. I have this odd feeling that maybe these guys don't really wish the MACC and Abu Kassim to succeed in the war against corruption. For if the man and this institution do well, it speaks well for the PM of the day as well. And that they can ill afford to happen!

    So belittle the man, these guys will continue to do. Yes, perhaps "3/4 of Malaysians" didn't know about Abu Kassim. They don't need to. What we want to know is if the man put there is doing a good job. Looking at the record, some of which you have listed in your comment Anon 3.59, I have to say that Abu Kasim has achieved a lot in such a short time, indeed.

    By the way, the 1/4 of Malaysians who know Abu Kasim's name by heart must include people who will shiver at the mention of that name. No?

    These opposition people. Anyone who is rich must be investigated. So they dont want any rich people in the country. Rich means corruption? They mean nobody can work hard and become rich.

    Narrow minded opposition.

    The Ethisphere Insitute, which describes itself as "a leading international think-tank dedicated to the creation, advancement and sharing of best practices in business ethics, corporate social responsibility, anti-corruption and sustainability," is actually a for-profit company. The institute also lends itself credibility with an "advisory panel" of ethicists, yet several former members say they've had little if anything to do with it. Finally, the institute and an affiliated company sell services to and collect fees from some of the same companies Ethisphere extols.

    why do i get the feeling that everything is a wayang leading up to the next GE.....including our dear dpm saying all the handouts have nothing to do with buy elections and that the pm's and dpm's planned roadshows also has nothing to do with the erections...

    let us see their behaviour after the elections....see the example of the cm penang as described by niamah for people who arereally deserving of awards.

    I suppose Chan face alleged charges of deceiving the former PM while he was sleepwalking?

    "And 99% snapped (sic) by you know who la..."

    Why does this bother you?

    Wasn't the demolition of the "old town" properly gazetted?

    And weren't the new shops put up for open tender?


    Don't moan if you can't compete, la! Better go work for a MNC where your sterling worth will be appreciated!

    But, then, that would involve real effort and hard work. So much easier to wave the racist flag, ain't it?

    International think-tank? Wah, hebat tu! Saya baru pertama kali dengar company ni. Tapi iyalah, saya duduk kampung, pembacaan kurang sikit.
    Walau bagaimanapun, rasanya, bukan saya sorang, orang yang kemain puji-pujiannya kat sini dengan Dato sekali pun first time dengar agaknya.
    Takpelah anugerah apa pun kita ucap tahniahlah kot.
