I applaud Abdullah Ahmad Badawi for the bold move of finally bringing a Mahathir crony to book.

It is obvious that it has taken this long for action to be taken because the former premier, Dr Mahathir Mohamad, had a special interest in protecting Eric Chia. Now that Mahathir is a private citizen, Chia and other cronies are open to prosecution.

It is obvious that if you pull the rope hard enough, it will end up with some very big names in the government. Some are retired, and some not.

This is the beginning of our effort to bring justice back to Malaysia and the millions of ringgit squandered over the last 22 years - Perwaja, MAS, Renong and our money that was to be wisely invested in the Employees Provident Fund.

Dear premier, you have wetted our appetite, give us more blood.
