Corruption in Malaysia

So much has been talked about the ACA nabbing the corrupt Puspakom officers. It is simply bribery, probably the easiest to identify and handled.

But there is another type of corruption, such as the MPSJ buying laptops at double the price. This is the overcharging corruption. I think this is more prevalent and harder to tackle as it normally involved those in power.

And come to think of it, those privatized monopolies are corrupt practice themselves. Think of Puspakom, Fomema, Indah Water and many other, created to siphon money from the public doing things that were previously done by government agencies or could be handled directly by the public. It is simply abuse of power by the authorities.

Just a thought from a man on the street.
