Is Malaysia really corrupt?
30 years ago, they called it duit kopi (coffee money). Being given under the table. Unseen.
20 years ago, they called it komisen (commision). Being given above the table. Everyone can see, but nobody condone it.
10 years ago until today, they called it derma (donations). Being given with the table. Everyone condone it. Billions transfered into Malaysia Official #1 private account in the name of donation. No need to pay tax. It is a donation, right?
This is actually a satirical answer. It happens to almost every nation. However, past 10 years Malaysia is well known for Kleptocracy country. Hopefully things will get better. And remember, corruption is not just about money. Abuse of power is also corruption.
