Comparing current Malaysia with the late Sung Dynasty

Heard this on the radio this afternoon where the topic of discussion is the effectiveness of MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission)

A caller to the station said that we need 108 heroes as depicted in the Chinese novel 'Water Margin'. Interesting. For those of you who have not read the story, the gist of the story is that the officials in the Sung Dynasty were so corrupt that all the good officials were either banished or executed. Half of the country is run by bandits. In fact, one of the bandit hideout became the hideout of these heroes who had run-in with corrupt officials.

Anyway, the dynasty did not last too long.

We do need some heroes now, more than ever as billions of ringgit of poor tax payers had disappeared without anyone being accounted for. First PKFZ and now the double-track rail system. What next, I wonder.
