KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) needs to focus more on preventing corruption in tandem with enforcement of the law in combating the scourge of corruption towards improving the country’s image through the Corruption Perception Index (CPI).

Its Corruption Prevention Advisory Board member, Datuk Seri Azman Ujang said he viewed corruption as a plague that must be prevented and not just treated as the prevention efforts were still lacking.

Sharing the sentiments, senior lecturer at Universiti Malaya’s Faculty of Economics and Administration, Dr Mohammad Tawfik Yaakub said the"fangs" of the integrity institutions in this country needed to be sharpened in solving the problem of corruption, especially the cases involving political leaders.

"We should also be giving a space as wide as possible to the integrity institutions for prosecution and law enforcement to enable them to carry out their job with full dedication for the sake of the nation," he said. "This is because other countries will perceive Malaysia very negatively. If they are to invest in Malaysia, they will be very concerned looking at the state of this nation if its full of corruption as it is a disincentive for foreign investment.
