'Lingam tape' witnesses show up

'Lingam tape' witnesses show up in parliament

What is the connection between the proposed MACC and lawyer VK Lingam's brother, V Thirunama Karasu, as well as the lawyer's former secretary GN Jeyanthi?

The duo, who testified in the royal commission of inquiry on the infamous Lingam tape' earlier this year, were present at an opposition press conference at the Parliament lobby today to stress that the MACC needs to be serious in its enforcement.

R Sivarasa (PKR-Subang) pointed out that although the commission has recommended fresh investigations into certain claims made by both Thirunama and Jeyanthi over the fixing of judicial appointments, no action has been taken by the Anti-Corruption Agency so far.

"You can make a good law but at the end of the day, what happens to the enforcement? We hope the MACC will behave in a different fashion," the MP told a press conference.
