KUALA LUMPUR: One should not stop the due process of law by turning around to sue the police, Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) or the media.

“You can’t stop the due process of law in this country. People are doing their jobs – the police and ACA are investigating cases and the media is reporting on the process of investigation,” Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Abdul Aziz said.

“If everyone sues, then the police and ACA would be scared to investigate,” he told reporters at the Parliament lobby yesterday.

Nazri, who was also investigated by the ACA back in 2003 over 6,000 taxi permits, said this was the price to pay for being a public figure.

“I was named but I never sued the papers,” said Nazri.

The ACA comes under Nazri’s portfolio in the department.

Is Pak Lah a good man who did nothing?
COMMENTARY

SEPT 7 — Once again, Umno president Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi has shown that he is unable to keep in check his party politicians.

If racial tensions have risen in the past few weeks, the blame should lay squarely with him because he is the good man who did nothing while Datuk Ahmad Ismail postured and catapulted himself from an unknown regional politician to the national stage by standing up to his party president.

But it is not just Umno politicians he has failed to keep in line.

He also allowed anger to mount among Chinese parties in the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition, to the stage where both the MCA and Gerakan are facing pressure from within to pull out of BN.

Now he is asking everyone to cool it. He says it is the collective responsibility of all Malaysians to preserve racial harmony.

But that is not likely to end the debate.

The man who says he is the prime minister of all Malaysians is finding it difficult now to really be one.

He is now stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Stuck between the pressure of staying in power in Umno, and the reality that most non-Malays in this country perceive Umno to be racist.
