The Penal Code should be amended to give it more bite to punish civil
servants who are involved in corrupt practices, said an anti-graft
panel member. The light sentences imposed on offenders now had
not deterred government personnel from being involved in corruption,
said Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Consultation and Prevention
of Corruption Panel (PPPR) member Prof Dr Chin Yew Sin.
Speaking at the ‘Sepagi Bersama Mentri Besar Perak’
programme yesterday, Dr Chin said the government must also improve its
administrative mechanisms to simplify the licensing processes and the
issuance of letters of approval to avoid corruption.
Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Kadir,
before opening the event, said the state government had introduced
one-stop centres in major state agencies such as the land offices,
district offices and local authorities as part of its effort to
strengthen the civil service and public service delivery system.
