Lim Kit Siang: We Owe It To Ourselves And Our Children To Make A Best Of This Country

Forum- Malaysia: Where Do We Go From Here, Kuala Lumpur 06/08/2015
The call for support for the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to continue its investigation into the RM2.6 billion transferred into Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's personal bank accounts grew louder at a forum in Kuala Lumpur last night.
The forum at the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall, which attracted a crowd of some 1,000 people, featured leaders from the opposition parties, civil society and a former Umno deputy minister pleading to Malaysians to give their full backing to MACC.
Speaking at the forum titled 'Where do we go from here', DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang read out a full news report on the comment of MACC's head of special operations, Bahri Mohamad Zin, saying he would strive to find out who got the police to disrupt the MACC investigations.
Lim even admitted that he has been critic of MACC, but he feels it is the responsibility of the citizens to protect the institution from Najib and announced that he would be going to the MACC headquarters today to give his support to the officers.
"I always thought that MACC was only chasing ikan bilis, not ikan yu... but when it is attacked, it is our responsibility to defend the institution so that it is not undermined further," the MP for Gelang Patah told the crowd.
