Zaid sees broken institutions as real cause of graft

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Former law minister Zaid Ibrahim has called for recognition that “broken public institutions” must be repaired to give meaning to the fight against corruption.

“Our public institutions are corrupt,” he said, adding that it would not do enough good to just punish tainted individuals.

He was commenting on former chief justice Abdul Hamid Mohamad’s call to Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Barisan Nasional (BN) adviser Najib Razak to step down from their positions to clear BN of the taint of corruption linked to them.
