Parliament: MACC chief should quit, says Lim
By LEE YUK PENG
KUALA LUMPUR: An Opposition MP has filed a notice to move an emergency motion on Malaysia’s Corruption Perception Index (CPI) plunging from 47th place to 56th this year.
Lim Kit Siang (DAP-Ipoh Timur) filed the notice with Speaker’s office on Wednesday.
At a press conference at the Parliament lobby, Lim said Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan should resign for Malaysia’s worst single-year plunge in Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index ranking and score since the introduction of Transparency International 15 years ago.
“Parliament must urgently debate the corruption perception ranking and score for Malaysia to take urgent and remedial measures to check the country from going down the road of a failed state.
“We will continue to lose out in international competitiveness because of the failure of institutional reforms, particularly in the war against corruption and abuses of power,” he said.
