---

JUST  A REMINDER….DO SOMETHING FOR THE FUTURE OF YOUR CHILDREN !!! Congratulations ! Finally, we are now world champion in something ……..corruption.
Bring out the champagne or vote out BN?   Malaysia is world champion in corruptionWashington, December 13, 2012
Despite Malaysia ‘s high-profile anti-corruption crusade, half of the corporate executives surveyed by a global corruption watchdog believe that competitors have obtained business in the country through bribery.Transparency International said Malaysia scored worst in the 2012 Bribe Payers Survey. It asked nearly 3,000 executives from 30 countries whether they had lost a contract in the past year because competitors paid a bribe, and in Malaysia , 50% of them said ‘yes’.Second on the dubious honor roll was Mexico , which was at 48%
According to the Wall Street Journal, Japan was ranked as the world’s least-corrupt place to do business, with just 2% of respondents saying they had lost out due to bribery
Malaysia ‘s neighbour Singapore was second-cleanest, which was at 9%.
Even Indonesia , with a long-standing reputation for corruption, fared better than more-developed Malaysia . By comparison, 27% of respondents in China said they thought bribes had cost them business, the report said
“It shows the attitude of private companies in Malaysia , indicating that bribery in the public sector could be systemic and in a sense institutionalized,” Paul Low, president of the Malaysian chapter of Transparency International, said
 Why not when the President of the apex organization for fight corruption i.e. Transparency International Malaysia himself is not perfect. His has a questionable integrity. He also does not practice transparency by getting the Federation Of Manufacturers Malaysia to control Transparency International Malaysia.Moreover Transparency International Malaysia has been receiving annual grant of between MYR 300,000 to MYR 1 million from PETRONAS apart from PETRONAS taking care of all administrative expenses in Transparency International Malaysia for the last 10 years. So does Transparency International Malaysia qualifies to be called a “NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATION” especially with many members including the President himself sitting on board of directors and commissions of many governmental organizations and government linked companies ? To most Malaysians, the definition of “transparency and integrity” is “buat pandai-pandai and don’t be caught, as long not caught red-handed and convicted in the Court of Law, everybody can claim to be corruption fighter”. - kuncitberagum.blog
