It is good to read that kind of reports. But now we don't trust this type of reports very much. Mr Ong may i advise you that before you can get the Mr Cleans to work for you in the JPJ, a department of highly corrupted, you are ousted out by the Mr Dirties.
Don't tread the voters as a 3 years old.
Again your MACC can be bought over by the Mr Riches, Mr Powers etc.
Keep your dreams in your sleeping room, don't make Malaysians look like a fool. Your statement is carried to the papers and news agencies throughout the world.
Be wise and be intelligient.
Suck in reading all the craps, may DPM cum Ministers of Eudcation is correct. we should read books. Perhaps a Mills and Boons is better.

Ong: Promotions in JPJ only for those who are 'clean'
By ROYCE CHEAH
PUTRAJAYA: Road Transport Department (JPJ) enforcement staff being considered for promotions will now be subjected to screening by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
The move is part of JPJ’s efforts to develop integrity as a key value in the department.
In the last promotion exercise in December, 65 out of 954 JPJ officers failed MACC’s background checks and were not promoted.
Transport Minister Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat said the move to instil integrity in JPJ was a proactive effort towards curbing graft, adding that it was a result of the many public complaints he had received since taking over the ministry.
JPJ director-general Datuk Solah Mat Hassan said that under the new system, there was no guarantee that officers would be promoted even if they have the best qualifications or test results.
“The acid test is when we send the names to the MACC. Their backgrounds will be checked to see if they are suitable for promotion.”
Solah said in the latest promotion exercise, the MACC found that the 65 officers had “suspicious backgrounds”.
He said that although no conclusive evidence was found, it was enough to remove them from the promotion list.
As another step towards staff integrity, the JPJ’s new recruits will also have to undergo a more rigorous interview process.
However, the names of recruits could not be sent for scrutiny by the MACC because civil service employment was handled by the Public Service Department.
“But JPJ still has direct control over the promotions of enforcement personnel,” he said.
Solah said JPJ would is scheduled to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with MACC tomorrow to further improve efforts to combat corruption.
(The JPJ had in 2000 also signed an MoU to curb corruption when the Commission was known as the Anti-Corruption Agency.)
The move to screen enforcement officers and made new recruits undergo more stringent interview process is part of JPJ’s implementation of an overall integrity plan which would also be officially launched by the minister tomorrow.
“Many e-mails I receive centre around corruption, malpractices and poor public delivery. We brainstormed about this and felt that we had to tackle integrity and the corresponding response to public complaints besides speeding up the delivery system,” Ong said in an interview.
He said the integrity plan would provide a mechanism to deal with graft.
“It will not only bring bad hats to book but will also help improve the flawed processes.
“We must think of ways and means to minimise opportunities that could be exploited and counter services tend to attract the most attention. That is why I am such a strong advocate of e-services,” he added.
