International Anti-Corruption Conference Designing 2030: Truth, Trust & Transparency TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL MALAYSIA NEWSLETTER A Nation Without Corruption, A Society With Integrity Volume 41 (October-December 2020). KDN Permit No: 11959/03/2019 (025399) PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE As the extraordinary year of 2020 came to an end we need to reflect on some of the major events that happened throughout the year and look forward to the year 2021 with vigour and enthusiasm. In 2020 we saw the collapse of an elected government and the formation of a coalition government which the people did not choose. The Covid-19 pandemic spread across the world at such devastating speed that not only affected the lives of almost everyone on this planet but also caused economic collapse and political instability. While Covid-19 has changed our lives in many ways and how we engage with one another, but this has also opened new opportunities with the acceleration of digital technology in our dealings with everyone including the business community. The year 2020 also witnessed the conviction of the former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak for the SRC case at the High Court. At the same time several high profile cases involving Riza Aziz, Tengku Adnan and Datuk Musa Aman were given discharge not amounting to acquittal (DNAA). On the other hand, Tengku Adnan was convicted in another case at the High Court recently. Both Najib and Tengku Adnan are appealing against their convictions at the Court of Appeal. The agenda for institutional reforms, the implementation of the initiatives in the National Anti- Corruption Plan (NACP), tabling of the political funding bill and the IPCMC (Independent Police Complaints of Misconduct Commission) bill has not seen much progress, and the level of commitment from the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government remains unclear. The recent release of the Global Corruption Barometer 2020 does not augur well for Malaysia as 71% Malaysians think government corruption is a big problem. For Transparency International Malaysia, our 2021 agenda will be on advocacy work on the Corporate Liability and educating the private sector on “Adequate Procedures”; pushing for the incorporation of the Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) in the Section 17A of Corporate Liability Provision; to continue engaging with the PN government to reform the Whistle Blower Protection Act 2010, and to continue to speak up on issues related to governance, transparency, integrity and accountability. Dr Muhammad Mohan President Transparency International-Malaysia EDITORIAL A YEAR OF UNCERTAINTIES Phew! What a year this has been! It was truly a roller coaster ride of uncertainties. Uncertainty as to when the Covid-19 pandemic will end, uncertainty as to when we will have a stable government. Uncertainty as to when our economy will recover and uncertainty as to when we can travel freely. Frankly it’s like looking into a crystal ball and only seeing a cloudy image. These are really difficult times for the people. People are unsure what lies ahead. Businesses are down, jobs are being lost almost daily. Many don’t even have a decent meal a day. These are times when we should have a strong government, a government that will give assurance and make the provisions to care for the people instead of bickering and grabbing power as there is much to be gained for those in positions of power. The politicians and the people have to be united to rebuild this country. It is time we put aside partisan politics and convictions to strategize a path that will lighten the overwhelming burden borne by the people. It’s time that the leaders set aside their personal needs and be selfless in the service of the nation. It is time for them to look into the basic necessities of the people like decent jobs, enough food on the table, basic education and basic amenities like clean water, cheaper power and fuel and well maintained roads. It is time to completely eradicate the culture of corruption in all entities so that every penny is used for the benefit and betterment of the people, to lift them up from the depths of poverty and ignorance and empower them with economic strength so that they may have a better quality of life. We, the citizens of this wonderful country plead with all sincerity for all to work together and be certain as to what lies ahead and not grope blindly without a vision and falling into every pothole on the road to a bleak future. We need visionary and enlightened leaders who feel for the people and the dignity of the nation. In these difficult times we also need strong, transparent and committed leadership that is not afraid of making bold decisions to chart our path to recovery. In a way, the pandemic has distinctively shown us our flaws and weaknesses as well as our strengths and temerity to handle crisis with sense and confidence. We hope that 2021 brings a silver lining to a rather depressing and gloomy past year and pray that the pandemic will pass with the advent of the Covid-19 vaccine. Happy New Year everyone.

  • Teoh Beng Hock's Sister Arrested in Galas Malaysiakini.Com October 31, 2010
    Teoh Beng Hock's sister arrested in Galas Malaysiakini.com October 31, 2010 In the second arrest in the Galas by-election since yesterday, the police today detained Teoh Lee Lan, sister to the late Teoh Beng Hock, under allegations of engaging in campaigning activities in the by-election. NONESupt Maszely Minhad from Bukit Aman headquarters along with several officers arrested Lee Lan (right in photo) and three other members of the 'Malaysians for Beng Hock' group in Kampung Baru Gua Musang this afternoon. They were eventually released this evening. The group, who arrived in Galas yesterday to seek justice for the death of the DAP political aide, were walking along the street towards their cars, carrying their pamphlets on custodial deaths when at 2.20pm they were accosted by the police, said their coordinator Chong Kok Siong. "Eight of us handed our ICs to the group of 10 policemen. Four of us were carrying the pamphlets walking in Kampung Baru to our cars,” he said. ”The plainclothes police stopped us; they said the (death in) custody issue will affect security, (and that we) can't speak openly. "But I said these figures (on custodial deaths) are from Hisham in Parliament, even the press reported it. “I challenged him, 'If you have the right, arrest us all'," said the social activist. Allegations 'puzzling' Meanwhile Lee Lan, who was being detained at the police station, blasted the police for denying them their constitutional right to legal representation for over an hour. "We want to see our lawyer, but our demands have been denied," she told reporters earlier in a phone interview.

  • Siasat Semula 1MDB Antara Cabaran PAC Malaysiakini 7 Ogos 2018
    Siasat semula 1MDB antara cabaran PAC Malaysiakini 7 Ogos 2018 Shakira Buang Jawatankuasa Kira-kira Wang Negara (PAC) kini berdepan tugas berat apabila terpaksa mengembalikan semula keyakinan rakyat terhadapnya untuk melaksanakan tanggungjawab yang diamanahkan. Dan bagi melaksanakan tugas itu, Timbalan Pengerusi PAC, Wong Kah Woh, berkata pihaknya bercadang untuk membuka semula siasatan terhadap isu 1MDB. “PAC yang baru haruslah mampu menebus kembali kepercayaan dan keyakinan rakyat. “Sebagai permulaan kepada tugas yang diamanahkan, saya akan berbincang dengan pengerusi dan ahli-ahli PAC supaya penyiasatan terhadap skandal 1MDB dibuka semula. "Selain itu laporan yang lebih komprehensif serta lengkap dengan mengambil kira keterangan-keterangan baru dapat dibentangkan ke parlimen,” katanya dalam sidang media di lobi parlimen, hari ini. Majoriti ahli Dewan Rakyat hari ini bersetuju memilih Datuk Seri Ronald Kiandee (BN-Beluran) sebagai pengerusi PAC. Wong pula dilantik menjadi timbalan Ronald. Mengikut peraturan PAC perlu dianggotai sekurang-kurangnya enam orang dan tidak melebihi 12 orang. Pengumuman itu dibuat oleh Speaker Dewan Rakyat Datuk Mohamad Ariff Md Yusoff sewaktu mempengerusikan mesyuarat Dewan Rakyat hari ini. Pemilihan kedua-dua mereka sah selepas majoriti ahli Dewan Rakyat bersetuju dengan usul yang dibentangkan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri Datuk VK Liew semasa persidangan. Sementara itu, mengulas lanjut Wong berkata PAC juga akan mengeratkan lagi hubungan dan kerjasama dengan Jabatan Audit Negara selain melancarkan siasatan terhadap kepincangan dan salah laku yang dilaporkan jabatan tersebut. Tambah Wong, pihaknya juga akan berbincang dengan pengerusinya supaya sesi pendengaran PAC boleh dibuat secara terbuka pada masa hadapan. “Pendengaran PAC pada masa depan akan dapat di buka kepada orang ramai demi menjamin taraf ketelusan yang tinggi, kecuali perkara-perkara yang melibatkan keselamatan negara atau keadaan-keadaan luar biasa," katanya.
