Call for a Royal Commission of Inquiry into Corruption as to why Malaysia became a kleptocracy, losing out to more and more countries in TI CPI since 1995, and how Malaysia can become one of the top countries in the world in public integrity and on the anti-corruption front

(Versi BM)

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) was unusually quiet in the new year of 2023, saying not a word even about the most dismal Transparency International (TI) Corruption Perception Index (CPI) 2022 released worldwide on January 31, 2023.

Last year, after the release of the TI CPI 2021 which saw a 5-point drop in score from 53 to 48 marks and 11-point drop in rank in two years, the MACC issued a statement that the MACC would review the findings of the annual CPI and propose recommendations, and called on the people’s “continued co-operation to help us curb corruption”.

Anwar must walk the talk of his anti-corruption commitment and produce results within a year when Transparency International releases its Corruption Perception Index 2023 next January

(Versi BM)

The 10th Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, must walk the talk of his anti-corruption commitment and produce results within a year when Transparency International (TI) releases its 2023 Corruption Perception Index (CPI) next January.

It is too late for Anwar to do anything to improve Malaysia’s rank and score in the TI CPI 2022 which will be released later this month — which is likely to be the worst in the history of Malaysia in the 28-year series of TI CPI despite the 2019 TI CPI under the 22-month Pakatan Harapan government which was the best TI CPI in 25 years.

If Parliament is not dissolved in the next two to three weeks, then the 15th general election will be next year.

The top UMNO leadership, which is now meeting in Kuala Lumpur on this question, wants the15GE to be held immediately, regardless of the problems of the people in terms of rising prices and depreciation of the ringgit, and also in utter disregard of the threat of the monsoon and floods season, which has started in some parts of the country and cost 54 human lives and damaged RM6.5 billion of property last year.
