00:00Former Minister Rafidah Aziz has described the leakages, mismanagement and abuses identified
00:07in the Auditor General's report as proof that the culture of integrity is seriously
00:11being eroded in Malaysia.
00:14Rafidah said it was mind-boggling to learn from the report how pervasive the lack of
00:17integrity was in Malaysian society, with no sector untouched by the toxicity of power
00:22abuse.
00:24In a statement, she said the latest audit report revealed diversions from good governance
00:28involving billions of ringgits of public funds, and that such leakages, diversions
00:33and pilfering must be seriously tackled.
00:37She said to stop allowing foxes to guard the chicken coops, and to ingrain a culture of
00:41integrity within the broader education system.
00:45Rafidah suggested a review of existing procedures, procurement practices, points of authority
00:50and decision-making processes.
00:53She also called for a halt to the creation of new boards and agencies catering to numerous
00:57sub-sectors and activities, adding that the agencies and individuals identified in the
01:01audit report should be investigated.
