The recent Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index showed how Malaysia has fallen. As our tiny neighbour has successfully fought graft, Malaysia continues to struggle.
If our current Prime Minister himself appear tainted by corruption, how can others trust a nation where the Anti Corruption Commission is under his direct command? If the Government is serious about fighting corruption, then it should allow the MACC greater autonomy by removing it from the confines of the Executive.
This is a simple move but surely a risky one. As evidence mounts against Najib, relinquishing control of the MACC will only expose his darkest secrets.
Until and unless, the MACC is removed from the purview of the Prime Minister’s department, the current Government is NOT serious in tackling corruption in Malaysia. It is that plain obvious.
