These are the interviews conducted by Malaysiakini with Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Khir Toyo.

Malaysiakini described him as a straight talking MB.

Yes, he may appear to be so, but that does not guarantee good and corruption-free governance.

The reason he use that he was allowed to contest in General Election proving that he is corruption-free is too weak a reason for us to believe, as the Anti Corruption Agency (ACA) is not an independent body in fighting corruption. The ACA is currently under the supervision of the Prime Minister.

We certainly cannot forget that a lot of ACA reports lodged against him are either fallen into deaf ears or clasiffied case closed. The ACA has to date failed to come up any updates on the reports.

Khir Toyo also undermined the wisdom of the people in Selangor that they are not mature to elect local councillors.

He is true that it is the attitute of civil servants in local councils that causes bad governance but so to say, isn't it true that if the job of supervision and monitoring the civil servants in local councils will better be accomplished if it is given to elected representatives?
