KEPALA BATAS, Aug 5 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is determined to put a stop to corrupt practices and irregularities which he said seemed to have become systemic and damaged previous administrations.
He said Malaysia was a country rich in oil and gas, oil palm and other natural resources but its previous governance was spoilt by such practices. He claimed that previous governments were beset by the practice of officials asking for ‘commissions’. “I don’t mind being severely criticised for trying to put a stop to these practices. If I allow this , how can our country ever develop?” he said when opening the Bumiputera Entrepreneurs Assembly themed Madani Entrepreneurs Developing Economy here today.
He said these unhealthy practices persisted in the past because no one dared to touch a top official. — Bernama
