An anti-corruption group has urged Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to provide a detailed account to the public of all his ministers’ accomplishments after one year of service.
According to Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M), the people and the international community deserve to know about the ministers’ performance to show that Malaysia is on the right track towards accountability and reforms.
“That would be a true show of reform, accountability and transparency by the Madani government.”
“Not only will this convince the rakyat of the stability and capabilities of the appointed Cabinet, but it will serve as a basis for the prime minister to assess the performance of the various ministries in determining allocations as well as Cabinet reshuffling,” said its president, Muhammad Mohan, in a statement.
Meanwhile, Muhammad said such practice would also positively impact Malaysia’s corruption perception index in the long run.
“Ministers need not worry even if their performance is short of the mark as the purpose of the report card is to clarify what has been done and to justify the challenges and complexities of implementation. The rakyat deserves to know one way or another.”
