Malaysia falls to lowest in Corruption Ranking

Malaysia has fallen further down the corruption index where it is reported that it is now at its worst ranking. The ranking, posted by Transparency International reported that Malaysia has fallen another 9 places to 56. Last year, Malaysia was ranked 47th in the Corruption Perception Index (CPI). The CPI score also dropped to its lowest in 15 years. This year it is at 4.5 while in 2000, it was at 4.8 and 4.9 in 2002. In 2002, Malaysia scored it highest ranking when it was at 33. Malaysia then dropped to 37 when Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi took over as prime minister. Subsequent years saw the country drop more to 39 and 43 in 205 and 2007 respectively.

Lim Kit Siang, the advisor of DAP said that he expected a poor result but did not expect to see such a ‘grave fall’. He said "This is a national shame and major blow for Najib's premiership. I have no doubt that the mysterious death of DAP political aide Teoh Beng Hock on July 16 and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's role as Umno's catspaw to declare war on Pakatan Rakyat instead of declaring war on corruption were major factors for Malaysia's worst-ever TI CPI ranking and score," Transparency International is a Berlin-based organization that looks into the fight against corruption. According to the Malaysian chapter’s president Paul Low “Najib's moves to initiate reforms in some institutions, especially the judiciary, and the setting up of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, to make them more independent, transparent and accountable, was the way forward for the country. Transparency International Malaysia believed that the way forward for the country was to seriously combat corruption and to make government decisions and transactions more visible and transparent.”

all within expectation, when you have a government of this caliber dropping 9 places is already considered a major breakthrough..

No CORRUPTIONS no MALAYSIA. Can anyone please name a minister in Najib cabinet line-up is clean of corruptions including our PM? I'll give you my last month end RM50.00. We're only above Somalia.


Below it the three major corruption scandals/reports.

1) AG report of 2008 : rm28 billions of mismanagement and it has been going on for years.

2) PKFZ scandlal.

3) Submarine deals ... which resulted in the death of Altantuya.

Don't worry Malaysia. The ranking will go up to top 10 come 2012 because just before 13GE, BN will want to do the damage control by pumping more money to Transparency International. That's the way it should be. 1MALAYSIA BOLEH CORRUPT anybody.


Dropping to a dismal 56th placing is not complimentary at all to
the 1Malaysia euphoria.The whole world knows about Malaysia- being one of the most corrupted nation today.

Next year we should drop even further - maybe well below 60th. The reason - the No.1 Corrupted Mamak maybe made a
Senior Minister. More scandals and corruptions eclipsing even
the PKFZ and the Rawang Dual Railway.

SYABAS. This is really 1MALAYSIA -1 man SAPU all.

As long as UMNO/bn still exist in this land,the index will shoot up continuosly because of the extensive and overflow of corruption and manipulation especially worst now that Najis being the PM. But anyway,we can bring the index down if we all unite to expell UMNO/bn out in the next G.E.
