KUALA LUMPUR - Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has kick-started his corruption-busting campaign, which we hope will reverse the culture of corruption in Malaysia’s civil service lethally bogging down the government’s image as well as the country’s economic development.
And it appears that the only way to bring the dust out from under the carpet is to change the government and its chief commander. Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin pointed out later that the party was a victim of “selective prosecution,” as several party leaders had been charged for collecting funds to carry out political activities.Even though Muhyiddin has cried foul over the charges faced by Bersatu’s leaders, such conditional offers cannot be indemnified from corruption. Therefore, we will leave it to the court to decide the legality of the party’s RM300 million questionable funds.
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists started publishing some 11.9 million confidential records known as Pandora Papers beginning October 2021, exposing the tricks of almost a hundred national leaders, billionaires and socialites using their offshore companies to conceal their wealth to the tune of US$32 trillion , including real estate, art works, jewellery and other non-monetary assets, for tax evasion purposes.
Those involved will be required to explain why they have set up offshore accounts to harbour hundreds of millions of ringgit in assets of inexplicable sources.
