Comments: PKS chief too busy to attend KPK probe

em>May 11, p2

The Islam-based Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), which prides itself on being an ostensibly antigraft party, continues to resist attempts by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to investigate its top leaders.

PKS chief patron and paramount leader Hilmi Aminuddin, 67, refused to attend KPK questioning on Friday in connection with a graft case revolving around beef import licensing that has implicated the party'€™s former chairman, Luthfi Hasan Ishaaq.

Your comments:


In any other country, anyone who refuses to obey a summons to appear for questioning from a legal body would just be arrested.

This party is Islam-based and pro justice in name only '€” as in so many cases the name of Islam and justice are used simply to attract adherents, while the actions of its members show the lie to this.

Hopefully the electorate will remember come the elections.
