Former cabinet minister and veteran politician Rafidah Aziz today lambasted the logic employed by Tanjong Karang MP Noh Omar, who last year told the parliament that there is nothing wrong with stealing unless one gets caught.

Speaking at a forum on anti-corruption in Putrajaya, she said an offence is still an offence whether the offender gets caught or not.
