“I am not Malaysian, but I am in Malaysia for 30 years. This is a beautiful country. In terms of resources, it’s one of the richest, in the whole region,” he said in the Anti-Corruption and Integrity Forum 2019 at the Istana Hotel here. “In 1994,1995, it was booming. In 1996, 1997, a little bit of economic turmoil came, but still the country was progressing very fast. Lots of palm oil mills were established, a lot of upstream expansion was going on, but today we are not that affluent.Malay MailDuring the forum, he also urged Malaysia to do better in terms of formulating policies, to better protect whistleblowers.
“I have seen three, four of such cases and they really burnt their fingers. They really suffered, just because they wanted to raise the issue, because their immediate superior was doing nonsense and [the whistleblower] was well aware of that, but there was no proper room for him. “If a person has raised the alarm, in my opinion he should be given at least some assurance that; Okay, we are not going to take any action against you, even if we suppose you are involved in other cases. Help us to be part of the process to uncover this whole mess, rather than be our witness, main witness and so forth,” he added.
She also said the commission has found some legal loopholes in the existing Whistleblower Protection Act 2010 and that she will be presenting her recommendations to lawmakers to plug them up.
