THERE is no denying that the scourge of corruption has soaked into the fabric of our society. A recent survey by Transparency International-Malaysia (TI-M) found that corruption is rampant and set to get worse, according to the majority of Malaysians.
Seventy-one per cent of locals surveyed under the Global Corruption Barometer for Asia 2020, which covered 20,000 people across 17 countries, felt that corruption had become a major problem, with Parliament, the police and civil servants ranked at the top for perception of corruption among public institutions.
