NSTnation Malaysia's CPI jumps 10 spots due to prompt action against scandals
Transparency International Malaysia president Dr Muhammad Mohan told a Press conference today that the survey, which involved 180 countries, said the improvement was due to the new government’s measures in combating graft.
“Surveys and expert assessments were used to measure the perceived level of corruption of public sectors. “The improvement is led by the new government’s swift action on 1MDB, SRC International Bhd, Felda and Tabung Haji scandals, the arrest of several political figures for corruption and money laundering, and greater media freedom.”
Muhammad also said contributing to Malaysia’s current position in the index were the appointment of opposition members of parliament to the Public Accounts Committee, asset declaration by MPs of the ruling party, including corporate liability for corruption under Section 17A of the MACC Act and the National Anti Corruption Plan .
