M'sia must address setbacks towards good governance, transparency, say anti-graft watchdogs


KUALA LUMPUR: Despite Malaysia's improved global corruption perception ranking in 2023, anti-graft watchdogs caution of lingering setbacks that must be addressed for the country to strengthen its commitment to good governance and transparency.

The Center to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4 Center) expressed that Malaysia's 57th spot out of 180 countries, scoring 50 out of 100 in Transparency International’s (TI) Corruption Perception Index (CPI) 2023 denoted a positive change for how corruption is perceived in the nation.
