PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is not the solution to combating worsening corruption in the country, but part of the problem, two opposition leaders say.

This comes after Malaysia fell once again in Transparency International’s latest Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) rankings, sitting at 62nd in the world, having been ranked 57th in 2020 and 51st in 2019.

After the rankings were released on Tuesday, the MACC said it would continue to pay serious attention to combat corruption and devise recommendations to reverse the decline.

In a statement today, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng and Amanah president Mohamad Sabu said the MACC “is the problem”, pointing to instances of political influence in the agency.
