How our beloved country - Malaysia score this time?
We are rate No 56 in the world with a Corruption Perception Index of 4.5 on par with Latvia, Namibia, Samoa, Slovakia.
Comparing among the South East Asia countries, we are not that bad, we are No. 3. Of course, you could have guess who get No. 1, our neighbor Singapore. Long ago it is part of Malaysia (separated in 1965). But today, it seems everything they do, they surpass us. Why? Something our leaders should think deeply about.
Our result is getting worst not better every year. Whereas Thailand and Indonesia are improving. Are our country really that corrupted?
No
