PUTRAJAYA: A foundation has been launched to provide assistance to officers of anti-corruption agencies who are victimised, persecuted or abused for carrying out their duties.
The Perdana International Anti-Corruption Champion Foundation is also meant to help those who have been intimidated, threatened or maliciously punished while on duty.
"Obviously, those who involve themselves in corruption are powerful and rich, and their objectives are for more power and wealth and to have the means and resources to punish and stop those who attempt to put an end to their shenanigans. They include former attorney-general Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail, former Bank Negara governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz and former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief commissioner Datuk Seri Shukri Abdull in relation to the 1MDB scandal.
"I would also like to express my utmost respect to all the men and women across the globe who had given their time, lives and commitment in putting an end to the corruption scourge," said Dr Mahathir. "To them, the awards to Morais and Baswedan symbolise our appreciation to all of them," said the Prime Minister.
