IT FIGURES.

I attended the Memorial get-together for Teoh Beng Hock at the Selangor-Kuala Lumpur Chinese Assembly Hall. All the speakers drove home the sentiment prevailing that the people were being hoodwinked by the Royal Commission of Inquiry. The main theme during this period of mourning was Justice for Beng Hock, Answers for the Rakyat. This RCI would only look into the SOP of the MACC.....justice after the fact and no answers as to how and why Beng Hock died. The anger of the rakyat was evident. I wanted answers from YB Salahuddin Ayub and YB Tan Seng Giaw. I wanted to ask them why they are still in the Advisory Board, after the recent meetings of the Board. They did not show up.

However, Hantu's step-brother slipped me a piece of paper as I left to go fishing. Here it is:

VISION STATEMENT

To be the Barisan Nasional’s best-in-class and thereby most effective service-provider.

MISSION STATEMENT

MACC is solely dedicated to ensure that the Barisan National Government regains the 5 states that it lost to the opposition before the next General Elections. It will work creatively and innovatively with likeminded agencies, police and judiciary, to extract without impunity, fabricate expeditiously, deceive flippantly and manipulate without compunction towards this end. As such the MACC will single-mindedly muster all the arsenal provided to satisfy its sole stakeholder the Barisan National Government.

As an HR consultant I was familiar with Vision/Mission Statements and I put the above thru the normal 3 key tests:

• Pass the Mother Test: A mission statement must be a concise paragraph describing what your company does and for whom. Show your mission to your mother, if she does not understand it, start again.
• Self-Igniting: Your mission is for you and your business. It does not have to be an earth moving statement. It can be whatever inspires you.
• Value Alignment: Forget the money. A meaningful mission goes beyond the dollars and cents. If your small business is creative, focus your mission on creativity. Try to be what your core competency is.

The above Vision and Mission Statement of the MACC passed the 3 key tests.

It figures....why we will not be assured of justice or answers.
