Police objects to setting up of Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission

We have in place adequate measures to tackle corruption and other abuses by our men. We already have the Police Force Commission and we have the Anti-Corruption Agency as well as the Tatatertib (disciplinary board) in Bukit Aman. These are effective bodies that look after the force and they have been doing for years.

cannot decide now

It is not appropriate for us to make a decision and to announce it now.
We will wait until the investigation is over.

Support will continue to be given but it will be targeted, finite and transitional, not open-ended and unconditional. We will reward those who make serious and concrete efforts to achieve the kind of scale, through domestic sales and export, that will allow them to do more in Malaysia.

We have to be in control

If there is a need for us to give up some equity, we will do that; but no to the point where we lose control of the national car. The partnership should not lead to undermining the national car. Whatever it is, we have to be in control of the car and of the manufacturing.

We have to look

Asked if Proton's Tanjung Malim plant would be used to assemble some cars for Alado and Chery, Kamarulzaman Darun said -

We have to look at the real value and the value-added benefits.

cannot vote on conscience

You went into the elections as a candidate for the party and you must remember that. You must always toe the party line.

If you’re not happy, you can resign, or in the next elections, you can quit as a party member and stand as an independent against BN.

That is the only time when you can vote in Parliament based on your conscience.

the MP who asked the Malacca Customs to close one eye

I don’t deny my interest in this matter as a forwarding agent.
I am allowed to do business.
Why can’t MPs do business?”

I went to meet the director as I would do whenever there was a problem. I went as Mohd Said, the owner of Binyu Sof and Jasin MP. The problem occurred in my constituency. I admit I am one of the players at the port. I admit I have interest. What’s wrong with that?”

role of parliament at a crossroad

Are we supposed to be government supporters or Members of Parliament? We have reached that crossroad and should be prepared to make changes.
