Nothing changes if new PM continues culture of patronage, corruption – C4 Centre - superadmin - 08-26-2021

THIS new government, the third since 2018, must in its advent commit to addressing the injustices of the previous administration, and confront corruption as the greatest injustice in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah, in calling for all leaders to prioritise governance, has aptly stated that governance needs to be based on the principles of justice, and should be entrusted to acknowledged experts. This is a serious responsibility that new Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob must heed with utmost urgency.

The Centre to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4 Centre) lauds this critical call for good governance, especially in the face of the current political turmoil and raging pandemic, where the future of Malaysia remains uncertain as political parties grapple for power.

Any form of corruption that happens in the midst of this national emergency is a reprehensible crime against the rakyat, where thousands have become jobless, and countless more have died.

This call to better governance must be met with meaningful access to information, strict enforcement, regardless of rank and titles. In upholding the rule of law, there should be no discrimination between offenders. What should have been a backbone, a pillar of any enforcement system, has instead been perverted.
