Of late, many political observers have expressed alarm about how deep the “rot” has seeped into many aspects of Malaysian life, including the country’s institutions of governance.

The latest alarm bell is the drop of five places to 62nd out of 180 countries in Transparency International’s perceptions ranking of the cleanest nations based on their corruption perceptions index scores.

This rot did not take place overnight. It is something that has been growing over the years – no, decades. Full article on Aliran website

Warisan got no ***** to contest in Malay majority seats in Peninsular. It can only recruit disgruntled has-been politicians like Jeff Ooi. What values can they talk about? Warisan will follow the path of Gerakan into oblivion.

Susanna Liew has asked again for the special task force report on the disappearance of her husband Pastor Raymond Koh who went missing five years ago.

Liew said it has been three years since the task force had completed the report, which has yet to be made public.

You are an ardent admirer and a devoted follower (along with your co hoots) of anything S’pore besides Macau and HK, going your by previous comments. You look down upon this nation. Are you now saying that those nations are not what you made them out to be. A change of mind, perhaps.

CORRUPTION IN MALAYSIA
————————————–

“Speech by DAP Member of Parliament for Bandar Melaka, Mr. Lim Kit Siang, in July 26, 1971”

https://bibliotheca.limkitsiang.com/1971/07/26/corruption-in-malaysia/

========

This speech took place in Parliament in 1971. If one reads his speech, one would think he is describing about the corruption situation in the twenties of 21st century. But the speech was read
a good 50 plus years ago describing the corruption situation back then.

And that boys, is 50 plus years of no change on corruption. And he also talks about corrupt froggies switching political parties. Its like we are frozen in time.

Warisan lost in Sabah, no credibility to show in peninsular Malaysia. Also why Warisam dare not enter the malay heartland if Shafie claimed to have strong Umnk background and experience?
