This is not only Stretching discretionary power for instant citizenship. Its connivance but using the law to mitigate the shameful act. Its a frequent modus operandi of the systems and here the connivance is at its highest order. We have often heard of connivance of abang adek in the govt service in corruptions. And now the minister and FAM had moved one step up to be in tandem under the same concept. Brilliance and creative but unfortunately this can only bring shame to Malaysia. Mdlaysia semua boleh except meritocracy which memang tak boleh. Thats how we produce half past six ministers, front door as well as backdoor. And the results are for all to see.
