The UMNO-BN government has busied itself upgrading a resources of relevant authorities as good as coercion bodies to quarrel corruption. But that's about it, a total endeavor usually stops there. Such efforts have been plainly cosmetic as good as for show, it is similar to shopping all a required a weapons even during overly tall prices to quarrel an enemy, as good as then refusing to lift a trigger when confronted.
The total exercise becomes invalid as good as in a end, a upgrading of a National Bureau of Investigation Act (NBI) (1974) to a Anti-Corruption Corruption Agency (ACA) Act (1997) to a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act (2008), has all been for nought. If anything, a MACC is right away seen as even misfortune as good as some-more underneath a ride of tip UMNO leaders than a predecessors. Certainly, conjunction a NBI nor a ACA has been tainted by two puzzling deaths in two consecutive years during a premises which still demeanour similar to murder cases despite starting by intensive inquests which found otherwise.
The MACC's disaster to take movement upon what crop up to be clear-cut cases, for e.g. opposite Salleh Ismail, a husband of Shahrizat Jalil, in a increasingly shameful RM250 million debacle speaks volumes of a miss independence. To such low levels has a MACC plunged which it was even indicted of leaking fake news to assistance Salleh wriggle out of trouble. No wonder people remove faith in Malaysia. When a guardian of a nation's firmness such as a MACC turns rogue, we know which a nation is lost. Something contingency be done fast prior to rigor morti! s sets i n.
Declining trend, misfortune underneath Najib's watch
Therefore, to get a good gauge of whether UMNO-BN as good as Prime Minister Najib Razak have been successful in fighting crime as good as how determined they unequivocally are, a single cannot rely upon pro-government sources of report within Malaysia. Like a MACC, these sources know usually as good well which side their bread is buttered on. It is no warn which determined third-party surveyors together with a German formed Transparency International (TI) as good as a Hong Kong-based Political as good as Economic Risk Consultancy (PERC) have much greater credibility
On Mar 14, 2007, a Star Online carried a headline stating "Malaysia goes up in crime ranking". This gave a sense which Malaysia had softened though it was a other approach round since a grading complement works with 0 as a best probable measure as good as 10 as a worst. Malaysia was ranked 7th with a measure of 6.25. The nation was viewed by foreign businessmen to be some-more hurtful in 2007 compared to 2006, according to a annual PERC survey.
PERC managing senior manager Robert Broadfoot additionally pronounced "Companies usually bottom their investment decisions upon perception, not reality. If companies perceive a situation in a particular nation to be difficult, then which is expected to work opposite their preference to invest."
On Sep 24, 2008, a New Straits Times reported Malaysia's Corruption Perception Index was unvaried from final year. Again, this was a case of 'twisted' reporting. After all, as a PERC trainer had said, notice is everything! The law though is which whilst a measure remained a same, Malaysia had however slid from 43rd to 47th place in a ranking of 180 countries. The boss of Transparency International Malaysia during which time, Ramon Navaratnam, described a growth as disconcerting.
In 2009, a TI Corruption Perception Index (CPI) reported which Mala! ysia's c rime turn had risen significantly as good as was right away during 56, a lowest ever level.The 2009 CPI ranked Malaysia's crime during 4.5.
On Oct 10, 2010 a Star Online reported which Malaysia's CPI was somewhat reduce than a previous year, though a deterioration was tiny during 4.4 compared to 4.5 a year ago. New TI-M boss Paul Low explained which a score, which indicates "10" as no crime as good as "0" as intensely corrupt, fell short of a 4.9 target a Najib administration department had set for itself in January. Najib had programmed to grasp this by making "integrity" partial of his Key Productivity Index in a National Key Results Area (NKRA). It did not work.
"The efforts by Najib by a NKRA have not shown any results since notice takes a whilst to change," Paul Low told a press discussion when announcing a 2010 CPI.
Recently upon Dec 2, 2011 a Star Online reported which Malaysia ranked 60th in a CPI, a further dump of 4 places from final year. The nation scored 4.3 upon a consult which gauges a viewed turn of open sector crime between 183 countries. Malaysia is ranked third between ASEAN behind Singapore (9.3) as good as Brunei (6.3). Remember nation ranking - a higher a number a worse a crime as good as in 2011, Malaysia fell from 56 to 60. Score - a reduce a worse a corruption, as good as in 2011, Malaysia scored 4.3 worse than a 2010's 4.4.
Another large Najib lie
Therefore a claim by Ahmad Rozian Abdul Ghani, an undersecretary in a Foreign Affairs ministry, which Najib was receiving "real action" opposite crime is laughable. He was rebutting an articleTesting Malaysia's Promisesby ex-US attaché John Malott which basically indicted a Najib administration department of permitting crime to fester for domestic reasons, together with survival.
In a statement issued to a Wall Street Journal, as good as to behind up his claims, Ahmad Rozian referred to a passing of a new Whistleblow! er Act, a environment up of a special crime justice as good as a rising of a corporate firmness pledge for businesses as real commitments from Najib. But so far, no a single has seen Najib 'pull a trigger' upon a hurtful as yet.
Instead to Malaysia's good shame, a inhabitant crime group has been indicted of colluding with a Umno-owned media - leaking fake as good as false report to assistance a husband of comparison Umno personality to wriggle free from crime charges as good as to absolve itself from a annoyance of when it has not taken action.
From NBI to ACA to MACC, though what has a constructional evolution ever done for a quarrel opposite crime in Malaysia. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. Prime Minister Najib Razak has not usually failed his avocation to defend firmness in a country, he has once again lied to a general village by removing a adulator to trumpet in black as good as white in a Wall Street Journal his anti-corruption credentials.
More as good as some-more open income is paid to await a fancy offices of a MACC as good as to pay a pampered comparison staff, though they have been not during all beholden to their bosses - a people of a nation - as good as instead pay off their countrymen with a backhanded slap.
When a inhabitant crime group itself turns corrupt, as good as colludes with a domestic leaders, we know then which bland Malaysians have been removing ripped off stiffed large time. Sad to say, a buck stops with a arch senior manager of a nation - Najib Razak - whatever he says or excuses he makes.
