"Paralympic case is actually completed but DPP (deputy public prosecutor's office) decided 'no case'. I am not satisfied and have asked the case to be relooked."

"I have not received any submissions from the Malaysian Paralympic Council (MPC). I'm still waiting for their professional opinions and justifications. So far, only the National Sports Council (NSC) has given their inputs and justifications on the pension scheme.  "I really look forward to receive MPC's input on this before we can take it to the attention of the NSC Board of Management for consideration."

Betul kah? Well someone, who obviously did not leave his or her name, left a comment on my posting RM4 million poser which read: Anonymous said... Hi! I over heard that some document that submmited to MACC were made up or fake. Also heard for this upcoming election some non member become member to allow them to vote. Top management in MPM also seem gearing up with a lot of altering document to suit the CEO interest especially Finance and Account reports before the EXCO review. Won't be surprise if Dato Zainal will be elect again even everyone know that he do nothing for Paralimpic Sport. October 3, 2011 6:32 PM I hope MACC investigating director Mustafar Ali will be able to shed some light and confirm if MACC had indeed visited MPC. I, like many others, would like ...
