Corrupted Government - Malaysia?

Proton's Scandal

There's a story about Proton sold MV Agusta for RM4, where they bought MV Agusta with RM500 juta (million) a few years back. But the story doesn't end here...

If we bought MV Agusta for RM500 million and sold it for RM4, according to the math that my teacher taught in kindergarten, we will have lost RM499,999,996.

Now, MV Agusta was sold to another company, and this company resold part of MV Agusta to Husqvarna, a Swedish company which was bought by MV Agusta last time to manufacture off-road motorbikes.

And here is the interesting part: Husqvarna was just recently sold to BMW, with the price of RM400 million!

Question: Who was the middleman who got a big cut of the profit???

Bribery

"Tetapi kita dapati sekarang ini ada galakan oleh Kerajaan dan parti Kerajaan supaya rasuah diamalkan. Apabila dinafi bahawa rasuah berlaku kita tidak dapat bukti bahawa penafian itu tidak berasas. Tetapi apabila dianya berlaku kepada diri sendiri dan pihak tertentu berkata bahawa dianya tidak berlaku maka diri sendiri tentulah tahu rasuah sudah berlaku. "


So, the government doesn't really care when it comes to bribery (rasuah)?

What's your thoughts?
