Those convicted under this section 10 can be punished under section 17 :-
"Seksyen 17. Mana-mana orang yang didapati bersalah di bawah seksyen 10, 11, 13, 14, 15 atau 16 boleh:-
(a) dipenjarakan selama tempoh tidak kurang daripada enam bulan dan tidak lebih daripada dua puluh tahun;
(b) didenda tidak kurang daripada lima kali ganda jumlah atau nilai suapan yang menjadi hal perkara kesalahan itu jika suapan itu dapat dinilai atau berbentuk wang, atau sepuluh ribu ringgit, mengikut mana-mana yang lebih tinggi."
Punishment under the ACA Act 1997 is very severe. A member of Raub UMNO had been charged under Section 10 (b) (aa) of the Act. He is a government servant.
Compare the above with the actions taken by UMNO for politik wang. Those convicted were merely suspended from membership for a period of time or at the most sacked from the party and can continue their normal lives inside or outside UMNO.
Recently, just before CNY, a few other members of UMNO in Pahang had been detained and questioned by SPRM for alleged involvement in politik wang.
If they are charged, they will be liable to jail of a least 6 months or to fines. If they are Government servants, they stand to lose their jobs etc etc...
UMNO want it to happen which way?
p/s SPRM is in force w.e.f 1st January 2009
