KUALA LUMPUR, 23 Oct: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has still filed to solve 99.3 percent of corruption cases despite receiving provisions of almost RM1 billion since 2009.
Member of Parliament for Kampar, Ko Chung Sen said based on the statement from the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Senator Datuk Paul Low Seng Kuan, only 75 percent or 1274 of the cases have been convicted compared to the 1692 c
He said, despite the increase in provisions and MACC staff, the number of prosecuted and convicted cases has decreased in the last three years.
"This is not a problem is there is no corruption in Malaysia. However, Malaysia has been identified as one of the countries with high corruption rates based on a report by the Wall Street Journal (December 2012) and Earnest and Young in September," he said in a press conference at the Parliament lobby this morning.
He said, the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has also failed to eliminate corruption cases in Malaysia despite promising to do it in his speech at Commonwealth Club in San Fransisco, USA, in September.
"Reducing corruption is one of the six National Key Result Areas (NKRA) announced in January 2012.
"He promised to make corruption a matter of 'the past' in Malaysia," he said.
