Malaysia scores a 5.1 in Transparency International CPI.

Malaysia scores a 5.1 and fall in terms of world ranking to 47 from 43 for Transparency International CPI.
Despite all that has been done on corruption over the pass few years, it seems as if we are not going improving in terms of our corruption index in Malaysia. We are still at a 5.1 and have been hovering between a 4.90-5.10 for the last 6 years.
The CPI survey by Transparency International al measures the perceived levels of public-sector corruption in a given country and is a composite index, drawing on different expert and business surveys.
The 2008 CPI scores 180 countries (the same number as the 2007 CPI) on a scale from zero (highly corrupt) to ten (highly clean).”I have only one thing to say, we need to clean up the act. Malaysians needs to start moving up the ranking or else as a nation will be deem corrupt and easily corrupt by others. Furthermore in such situations, the poor in this nation will always be exploited.

I am not surprise at all. Whatever that has been done is nothing but a show for the public to see. The real corruption as we know has nothing to do with the little boys getting arrested. The BIG FISH is still enjoying the swim.
