Track down the corrupt

We should turn the precious anti-corruption experience in the post-quake period to normal practice, says an article in People's Daily. The following is an excerpt:
Recently, Wang Anwu, the head of the food bureau of Xixiang county, Shannxi province, was suspended from his post and was under investigation for embezzling the emergency food for quake-struck victims. The speed at which Wang's case was dealt with was very fast, rarely seen in normal times.
Wang is not alone in having been dealt with quickly. Before him, four officials in Lueyang county, Shannxi province, were also punished by the local discipline departments not long after they, using their power, seized the tents that should have been handed out to quake victims.
