The Johor
Crown Prince has raised his concern on corruption, appearing to be sceptical
that a perpetrator would face punishment.
"Corruption
is a serious crime. Do you know what is the punishment for committing it?
Nothing ... if you are a member of certain organisations," Tunku Ismail
Sultan Ibrahim said in the latest post on the Johor Southern Tigers' Facebook
page.
As
president of the Johor Football Association, Tunku Ismail said he had always
called for an independent body for its referees, to prevent any conflict of
interest.
"Being
corrupted is a very bad trait. Being silent and doing nothing about it,
however, is even worse.
"I
would prefer even to fail with honour, than to win by cheating," he added. His
statement coincidentally followed allegations made against Datuk Seri Najib Tun
Razak.
The Wall
Street Journal and Sarawak Report published an article on Friday quoting an
"unnamed investigator", claiming that almost US$700mil (RM2.6bil) of
1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) funds went into the Prime Minister's
personal bank accounts.
The Prime
Minister's Office responded to the report, saying that it was an act of
"political sabotage", while 1MBD insisted that no funds had been
transferred to Najib's accounts.
Najib had
also accused former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad of "working hand in
glove" with foreign nationals, and behind the "latest lie".
