To keep graft in check, politicians should not be appointed to run government-linked companies, says Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Advisory Board Chairman Tunku Abdul Aziz Tunku Ibrahim
Power leads to corruption, and absolute power leads to absolute corruption horrible. Malaysia’s constitutional mechanism is in disarray. Malaysia is plagued with an authoritarian culture contaminated by deep-rooted corruption, and the nation should reform its constitution to provide for direct election of the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches in alternating years, with 1/4 of all MPs facing election each year.
