IN a startling revelation, a recent study conducted by the Asian Barometer Survey found that an alarming 50% of Malaysians consider corruption to be a routine and accepted part of their country’s social fabric.

The study highlighting the normalisation of corruption within society, particularly resonates among low-income groups residing in rural areas.

The findings serve as a wake-up call to the Malaysian government to take decisive action to combat corruption and restore faith in the integrity of the nation.

With transparency, robust anti-corruption measures and a focus on socioeconomic upliftment, Malaysia can pave the way for a brighter, corruption-free future.

University of Nottingham Malaysia honorary research associate and leading expert Dr Bridget Welsh warned that the Malaysian government must urgently address the underlying causes behind this acceptance and identify why corruption has become ingrained in society.
