KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 22 — Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M) today chided PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang over his racially provocative claim that most of the corruption rate in Malaysia was contributed by non-Muslims and non-Bumiputera.
TI-M said corruption is colour blind and affects everyone.
"They have a narrow and myopic view of corruption and create feelings that are contrary to the concept of ‘Malaysian Family’ by the prime minister.
"Such comments made in a multi-racial, ethnic and religious democracy are deplorable, racist, defamatory and potentially inflammatory.
