Sabah lawmaker backs Anwar, Azam Baki in Malaysia’s war against ‘cancer of corruption’

Usukan assemblyman Datuk Seri Salleh Said Keruak said he agreed with MACC chief Tan Sri Azam Baki that higher salaries for the public sector alone will not stop corruption. — File picture by Zuraneeza ZulkifliKUALA LUMPUR, June 18 — The majority of Malaysian civil servants are honest and god-fearing, Usukan assemblyman Datuk Seri Salleh Said Keruak said today as Putrajaya doubles down on corruption.

The Sabah state lawmaker and former federal communications and multimedia minister said he agreed with Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief Tan Sri Azam Baki that higher salaries for the public sector alone will not stop corruption as its perpetrators are those who are “greedy, without self values and integrity”.“The serious views and actions of both PMX and Azam Baki in removing the cancer of corruption should be commended by all,” Salleh said in his Facebook page.

“If people think that corruption is because of the lower salaries, my recommendation to the government is, be careful on that, don’t keep on increasing the wages for nothing.“You think that will reduce corruption it is about other things. It is about greed, opportunities, the system and procedures of the governance issues and then people use that opportunity for their benefit,” he said.
