Malaysia gets low D rating for corruption in defence sector - superadmin - 11-16-2021 PETALING JAYA: Malaysia has scored low in an international index related to corruption in the defence sector. Malaysia scored 45% and received a D rating in the Government Defence Integrity Index (GDI) for 2020, released by Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M). The D rating indicates weak institutional resilience to graft. The GDI assesses a country’s defence sector and how well those responsible are able to manage the risk of corruption across multiple areas of defence, TI-M said in a statement. The areas of defence include policymaking and political affairs, finances, personnel management, military operations and procurement. New Zealand scored the highest at 85% and Sudan scored the lowest at 5% in the GDI. TI-M said the defence sector had long been held as the “opaquest” area of government activity, with its budget transparency being restricted. The sector only provides a general outline of how it manages public money. - More -
