KUALA LUMPUR – For Malaysia to be embroiled in a scandal involving Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief, while it faces a plethora of other issues, is unfortunate for the country, said Dewan Negara president Tan Sri Rais Yatim.

Speaking to The Vibes, the veteran politician lamented how such matters have added to the litany of challenges in the country, judicially and legislatively, and environmentally, brought on by the recent floods.

“At a time when we have other colossal cases being attended to by the system, specially by the judiciary, and at a time when there are other investigations going on, this thing has to come up.

“That is unfortunate for our country and system.”

Rais, who heads the Parliamentary Special Committee on Corruption (JKMR), and the Dewan Negara Special Committee Governance, Integrity and Anti-Corruption, expressed his hopes of seeing civil servants who fear the repercussions of corrupt activities, and not otherwise.

“It is my personal hope that office holders fear the repercussions or results of a corrupt act; we have been suffering too much and too long on this issue.”
