Good Governance Is The Way Out Of Poverty And Corruption


The latest findings of the Islamicity Indices in 2018 show that Malaysia, despite being a Muslim-majority country, is ranked 47th
Topping the list are the non-Muslim countries with New Zealand as the crème de la crème, followed by Sweden, Netherlands and Iceland
The Islamicity Indices are indicators that measure how “Islamic” a nation is on its governance and economic practices, according to the Quran and the Hadith
The research was primarily conducted with the aim to discover whether the “Islamic” nations (countries with large Muslims populations) truly use the Quranic principles on governance, economics, human and political rights, and international relations
Unfortunately, the report found that they are not
By comparison, New Zealand, with Muslims comprising only 1% of the general population, had the highest overall index score of 9.2 out of 10, with its economic practices closely mirroring the Quranic principles that had a score of 9.0, human and political rights at 9.29 and law and governance at 9.58
Emran El-Badawi, founding director of International Quranic Studies Association (IQSA) in the US and director of the Middle Eastern studies programme at the University of Houston, in reconciling these rather contradictory findings said that this is due to the liberal commitments of freedom and strong egalitarianism embedded in Western countries’ governance dynamics, which is in line with the Quran’s central theme — justice
The Quran orders Muslims to deliver justice in all areas, “O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both. So, follow not [personal] inclination, lest you not be just. And if you distort [your testimony] or refuse [to give it], then indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, acquainted. (Q 4:135)The highest-ranking Islamic country in the indices is the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at 45th, scoring an overall index of 6.18. Whereas, Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority country, scored an overall index score of 5.05 at 64th
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, historically viewed as a leader of the Islamic world, is at the 85th position with an overall index score of 4.42, a score of 3.63 for its human and political rights and 4.96 for its legal framework and governance
Yemen, an Arab country on the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula that has 98% of the population practising the religion, was the worst performer with an overall index score of 0.97, followed by Sudan with an overall index score of 1.25
What does this survey tell us about Malaysia?As stated before, Malaysia was in the 47th place on the list with an overall index score of 6.02, with the lowest score of 4.66 for its human and political rights, 6.05 for its international relations and 6.39 for its legal framework and governance. The highest score is for the economy – 6.99
Malaysia has been a pioneer in the global sukuk market development. This has resulted in the country becoming a global leading sukuk market, with US$157.8 billion (RM650 billion) sukuk issued in 2019, compared with US$60 million back in 2002. The country is also strong for its policies in alleviating poverty
Among the Islamic nations, Malaysia scored third place in the list, after UAE (45th) and Albania (46th)
Nonetheless, the key issues for Malaysia being in the middle of the pack, rather than at the top of the Islamicity Indices, are corruption and human rights
As such, the long-running allegations of corruption were noted to be incredibly distressing during the time period for the study (which was around 2018). This resulted in regime change during the nation’s 14th general election (GE14)
Hence, as a country with Islam as the state religion, what can we do
First things first. We have to combat the key issues identified in the Islamicity Indices — corruption and human rights
According to the latest study revealed by Transparency International (TI), an international anti-corruption watchdog, under the Corruption Perception Index (CPI), Malaysia has improved in the rankings, with corruption no longer a major issue in the country
Interestingly, the index reflects a relation between corruption and justice such that more corruption leads to less respect for justice and the rule of law, such that New Zealand and Denmark topped first in the list with a score of 87 out of 100 (with zero being highly corrupt and 100 being very clean from corruption), followed by Finland (86/100), Singapore (85/100) and Sweden (85/100)
In the Islamicity Indices, Sweden is in second position with an overall index score of 8.98, while Denmark is in the seventh position with 8.82
At the bottom of the CPI list was Somalia (an Islamic country) with a score of 9/100, followed by South Sudan (12/100), Syria (also an Islamic country with a score of 13/100), and Yemen (15/100)
Therefore, this shows how paramount it is for countries to stay away from corruption due to its bad aftermath of inefficiencies over the allocation of resources. This affects the whole spectrum of society and results in stagnation of overall economic development
With the improvement in our CPI, the government can now focus on the “perut economy” (bread and butter issues), which is the main highlight of PH’s manifesto during the run-up to GE14
According to EMIR Research Inaugural Poll, conducted late last year, the top five major issues of worry for the people were:Mitigating the cost of basic needs;Enhancing the quality of living;Creating credible jobs;Ensuring affordable homes; and,Enabling affordable healthcare.However, this does not mean a total hands-off on monitoring the issue of corruption and abuse of power
As stated by Sri Mulyani Indrawati, former managing director and COO of World Bank, the way out of poverty and corruption is paved with good governance. It is in line with Quranic teachings to stand firmly behind justice and fight corruption and bribery
