KUALA LUMPUR, March 1 – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said in Parliament today that no corrupt politician has been spared from the criminal justice system.
He conceded that efforts to battle graft remains difficult after Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim asked for an explanation about Malaysia’s drop in the latest corruption perception index.
Ismail told the Dewan Rakyat during Question Time that the government does not practise selective prosecution, citing the ongoing corruption trials involving both government and Opposition elected representatives as proof of Putrajaya’s commitment to quash graft.
