If the top have no integrity, why should we expect the staff who are lower in the pecking order to act with honesty and perform their work with diligence?
The Penang JPJ scandal involves employees between 32 and 55 years of age. They were allegedly protecting lorry drivers, and were alleged to have received between RM10,000 and RM32,000 per month. In return, they had to ignore violations of transport regulations.
Don’t think of the expose as being just about money for corrupt officials. Think of it another way. All the revenue from the transport violations should have gone to JPJ, to be used to improve working conditions and training programmes, for purchasing equipment, and to increase the safety of our roads and vehicles through proper enforcement and regulation. Instead, greedy, selfish and corrupt JPJ staff allegedly thought only of enriching themselves.
