    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I wish to contribute a bit on the first Statement as I support this one by Sen. (Dr.) Mbito on the corruption that seriously marred the recruitment of the police and the armed forces. The moment we compromise the recruitment of soldiers in our country, it has a long and lasting effect in the professionalism of the same profession. We remember what happened to China in history. After erecting a very expensive wall to defend its territory, it was later on discovered it would not help them because of the soldiers who manned the gate were easily bribed to allow the enemies in. I am so sure that these soldiers who are corrupting their way into this profession will finally be compromised in whatever they do. The military is a very important department in this country that is bestowed to defend our country from enemies outside. This is the force that keeps the secrets of the defense of our country. If this kind of compromise is allowed to continue, our country will be at risk. It is, therefore, my appeal that the new recruitment that took place last month be rejected, disbanded, and a fresh professional recruitment done. It is embarrassing. I appeal that this corrupt system and team be disbanded and a new one be put in place to do new recruitment."
