As for the protesters, to reject the MACC simply because its officers had allegedly beaten up detained UMNO members during interrogation is a joke. Taking the recent controversy of alleged police brutality on car thief suspect Kugan Ananthan who died in custody as an example, no one was foolish enough to suggest that the Royal Malaysian Police be abolished. But rather, the public are calling for reforms and tighter policies for the police force.
Likewise, the protesters have to do better than just looking for an excuse to condemn and reject the MACC based on statistics of 'beaten up' party members. If so, with the number of unsolved crimes in the country, should we also reject the entire idea of a police force too? Of course not!
If they have a problem with the harsh tactics of MACC officers, then they should demand an inquiry as a separate matter and take it to court.
