WHY do some criminals think they still have the moral high ground after they have broken the law?
SOME would rightfully say it is because these law breakers have sociopathic tendencies. A sociopath doesn't think that the laws of society apply.
BEING someone not trained in the laws of psychology, I won't challenge the above assertion, but merely would like to add that in the Malaysian context, they act in such a manner because crime pays by the Ringgit.
TAKE for instance, the sentencing of READ : former Malaysian Automotive, Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii) CEO Madani Sahari, this week , for pocketing a RM5 million bribe, which resulted in a year's jail, a RM100,000 fine and order to seize only RM3.4 million of his wealth.
BASICALLY, it works out to be a months jail for every RM100,000 or more, in bribe money that he get to keep. If I am confusing you a bit , just subtract RM3.5 million from RM5 million and divide it by the months, he ie going to spend in jail.
CRIME apparently pays by the Ringgit, the law breakers meanwhile only has to serve some time.
TIME apparently for those not yet charged with a crime , should be used or can be used beautifully, by self suggesting that you put yourself on GARDEN LEAVE. READ : HRD Corp Shahul Dawood volunteers to go on leave pending MACC probe
THE rules of Garden leave is very simple, you still get paid RM63,000 a month as in the case of Shahul Hameed Dawood, and don't have to suffer the indignity of walking into office, knowing that everyone in the office from the office boy onwards thinks you are rotten scumbag.
THERE is no justice in allowing Shahul h
Hameed dawood a free lunch courtesy of the tax payer for doing a horrible job at HRD Corp.
SHAHUL Hameed Dawood being allowed to go on GARDEN LEAVE is akin to rewarding the guy who raked up derivative losses amounting to RM53.8 million in 2022 (Pg 179 of HRDC 2022 annual report).
AND mind you those losses have significantly widened now, when one takes into account how the WIDAD Group shares are bleeding red ink.
THE best thing, the Government can do for Malaysians today is to make sure Shahul Hameed Dawood clocks in daily to office at 9 am sharp and leaves at 5pm, with his official duties as CEO suspended.
IT'S called COLD STORAGE , and not GARDEN LEAVE.
