Anwar Ibrahim Vows to Tackle High-Profile Corruption in Malaysia

Newly appointed Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has vowed to tackle high-profile corruption cases in Malaysia, targeting prominent figures known as 'big sharks'. He has also assured that smaller cases, dubbed 'ikan bilis', will not be overlooked.

Anwar has been critical of Members of Parliament who have remained silent or defended corrupt individuals, despite clear evidence of illegally accumulated wealth. He has stressed that stealing from the country is a form of hypocrisy that cannot be forgiven, and the ill-gotten gains must be returned to the people.

The Malaysian government under Anwar's leadership aims to clean up all forms of abuse of power and corruption within the next two to three years. The focus will be on high-profile individuals, including those involved in large-scale financial fraud and corruption cases, such as the 1MDB scandal. Najib Razak, the former Prime Minister, is among those being pursued during Anwar's tenure. The Prime Minister has committed to strict enforcement against any party involved in misconduct, including Ministers, high-ranking officials, and even retired individuals.

Anwar Ibrahim's administration is determined to root out corruption, with a focus on high-profile cases but not neglecting smaller ones. The government is committed to a two to three-year timeline for cleaning up abuse of power and corruption, with the return of illegally accumulated wealth to the people being a key priority.
