AS a former chairman of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s Panel on the Prevention of Corruption, I am deeply concerned that the MACC is losing public confidence and credibility because of its apparent decline in transparency and accountability, in reference to the report “NGOs want MACC to reveal status of Splash deal probe” (The Star, Dec 29).

The strong stand taken by the three well-known NGOs – Suara Malaysia, Batas Malaysia and Gapenas Selangor – represents significant public concerns. The NGOs should be saluted for their courage and commitment to serve public and national interests.
