CORRUPTION can cripple our economy, which is why it is most welcome that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) deputy chief commissioner Datuk Azam Baki has announced a new focus on high-ranking civil servants and senior officials in sensitive areas of procurement and enforcement in government-linked companies and the banking sector as well.
But why does the MACC want to focus only on officials and leave out politicians from this new focus? Politicians across the board could be even more corrupt. After all, they have a shorter career path – one that could end at an election every five years – than career officials with a longer term of service.
