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

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”.
