KUALA LUMPUR September 23, 2009: There should be a separation in the relationship between the Government, business and politics in the fight against corruption, according to the Global Corruption Report.
“The complexity of the relationships between politics and the public and private sectors means that corruption may take place with impunity,”
“If businessmen fund political parties, the latter might have to ‘pay back’ one day and this could compromise on open tender and procurement issues,”
He expressed concern that Malaysia’s rating for the next Corruption Perception Index to be released next month might not change or even deteriorate.
In the Global Corruption Barometer survey 2009 released in May, when asked if their government was effective in fighting corruption, 76% of Indonesians said “yes” while 70% of Malaysians said “no.”
