I find some news so ludicrous these days, like for example, Uganda wanting to learn anti-corruption methods from our MACC, and Dr. Mahathir saying that PAS cannot be trusted!
MACC's image in Malaysia today is at its lowest ebb (including its longer history as ACA) and yet Uganda wants to learn from it...well, maybe to learn its interrogation techniques and how to cover up for those essential for its own good.
While PAS's Nik Aziz said he cannot trust Umno, we have Umno's longest service PM saying he cannot trust PAS! Well, we cannot say for sure who is right or who is wrong because the answer varies, depending on who you ask. That's political rhetorics for us.
Image building is important, so it seems, according to this Malaysia Insider's article:

The fact that Uganda thinks MACC is best for anti-corruption shows what public relations could do to one's image. But its local actions and statements did not suggest good PR at all, and that baffles me.

I thought the MACC took some lessons in atrocity from the Ugandans?
