Whoa .. Zakaria " I build mega mansions for the poor *snigger* " Mat Derus passed away. If you are wondering why this is news worthy .. well , the 61 year old guy was the former Penang municipal state assemblyman and was caught redhanded when he built a mega mansion/bungalow with a swimming pool and 2 hole golf set on government property (maybe even governmnent money but it can't be proven) without a licence. After being caught he claimed it was done for charity so he can have orphans come and stay with him for a few days every year.
Well, Zakaria died of a heart attack in "Istana Zakaria". Some would attribute this to an act of god and some to pure coincidence. Personally I think he got a heart attack when he realised that since Selangor is now controlled by what was previously the opposition political party, he can't get protection from the currupt officials of yesteryear .. the stress and mental anguish must have done him in. It's a shame actually, I would have liked to see him brought to justice and the proper punishment meted out so that others will fear to practice corruption openly as he did.
Well, lets keep our fingers crossed that Khir Toyol Toyo is brought to justice. Of course since the Selangor Municipal Council people from the previous state government just did their house keeping and destroyed "copies" of documents (Yeah right, and I am sure the original documents showcasing corruption will still be there) things looks slim. |
