“This improvement is due to the swift action taken by the Pakatan Harapan government to address the scandals of 1MDB, SRC International, Felda, and Tabung Haji when it came into power,” he said during the conference announcing the release of Transparency International’s CPI 2019 results at the Royal Selangor Club.
“The NACP under the National Centre for Governance, Integrity and Anti-Corruption Centre is a good guidebook for us all, and we hope the government will release periodical updates on the implementation of its 115 initiatives,” he said. “It is believed that by the end of last year, 22 of the 115 NACP initiatives have been completed. But making these completed initiatives public for greater scrutiny and transparency will aid in further improving our standing in the CPI next year,” Muhammad said.
