D happy family 
Would you agree that its quite alright for 3 members of the same immediate family to be in a council? Back in Jusco, members of the same family can’t even work in the same division/department. Sometimes, when they rise in ranks, they have to transfer out to other stores. The whole point is to minimize the possibility of corruption and cover ups.
Plus, this Zakaria fellow doesn’t seem to be like a person who upholds ethics and transparency. I quote…
The controversy started when it was revealed that Zakaria had built a palatial four-storey house in Kampung Idaman, Pandamaran, without first getting the approval of the Klang Municipal Council (MPK).
It was also revealed that he had not paid the assessment for another property in the same area for the last 12 years.
There was also public resentment over the appointment of Zakaria’s son and daughter-in-law as MPK municipal councillors together with him.

You also have to consider that he bought the land cheap from the government. And to further shroud things in mystery, there were like maybe 9 small lots which he bought seperately. Sounds a little bit dodgy to me.
Also I quote from the daughter…
“I do not see anything wrong as the three of us were appointed councillors in our different capacities,” said Roselinda, the daughter-in-law of Port Klang assemblyman Datuk Zakaria Mat Deros.
“If you take it negatively, it will be negative. If you take it positively, it will be positive. Our intention is to serve the people.”

Like Hitler would actually confess to being a homocidal maniac. Of course she doesn’t see anything wrong with it. Does she really think we are that Naive… HAH!
well at least the govt seems to get the picture at last. Though, why it took ages to realise that you have to take steps to avoid nepotism and corruption is beyond me. Read the whole story here.
The guy says that its the first time it happened. HAH! I doubt it! This is the first time it has been covered extensively. And thats only because of Zakaria not submitting his plans
