Building trusted institutions


WE often hear people talking about the importance of having credible and trusted institutions. Usually the discussion ends up with suggestions on how to improve agencies like the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commis­sion, the Royal Malaysia Police, the judiciary, the media, and so on.

The word institution is a confusing one. When we say institution, are we talking about entities like the MACC, the police, The Star, CIMB Bank, and the Ministry of Health? Or are we talking about overarching bodies like the judiciary, the media, or even the Government?
