Transparency International, Malaysia (TI-M) will launch the TI-M Legal Defence Fund at 12 noon on 27 March 2010 (Saturday) at the Royal Selangor Golf Club (The Green, 1st Floor). TI-M’s President, Datuk Paul Low is being sued by Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing, the Chief Executive Officer of Kuala Dimensi and Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd for defamation regarding statements on the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) fiasco published in Transparency International’s Global Corruption Report (GCR) 2009 and the media.
This highlights the serious risks of speaking out without fear or favour.

The fight against corruption is crucial for the sake of Malaysia and future generations.
