The Corruption Perception Index (CPI) ranking for Malaysia has
dipped from 56th place last year to 60th this year, according to
Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M).
Speaking
at the launch of the results in Subang Jaya this morning, TI-M deputy
president Mohamad Ali Hasan said that Malaysia's score of 4.3 has also
suffered its third consecutive fall since 2009.
Mohamad Ali said that while the dip in score has been marginal at
0.1 points each year, this was still a cause for concern because the
government has embark on several anti-corruption efforts.
"Why should it drop? The government has held several
(anti-corruption) programmes. The perception is that these actions are
not effective," he said.
In 2003, Malaysia was ranked 37 in the survey involving 146 countries. For 2010, the survey involved 178 countries.
