Transparency
International Malaysia (TI-M) supports PM’s mission in fighting
corruption.
June 20,
2007 by Tan Sri(Dr) Ramon V. Navaratnam
TI-M
strongly supports and commends Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah
Badawi’s remarks in calling for greater resolve and meticulous work
in fighting corruption and ensures successful convictions during an
interview with the Oxford Business Group. The credibility of the
government, the police and the judiciary must be upheld throughout
the investigation, arrest, prosecution and punishment of the guilty.
TI-M
supports and advocates the importance of investing much more
resources into preventive measures to eradicate corruption such as
education and reducing red tape in the bureaucracy. The public must
understand that bribery is wrong, evil and unnecessary in order to
move the economy and enhance the quality of life in Malaysia.
TI-M
urges both the government and the private sectors to strengthen their
commitment to promoting good governance, transparency, accountability
and integrity in all aspects of public life in Malaysia by
taking concrete steps to instill a culture of intolerance for
corruption and injustice through public-private sector partnership to
change the attitudes.
