KUALA
LUMPUR: The Institute of Integrity Malaysia (IIM) has said that the
nation’s anti-graft image has improved with the introduction of special
courts dedicated to handle corruption cases.
“It
is a good idea (to set up the special court) because one of the biggest
complaints we hear is that corruption cases can take a few years before
being brought to court.
“At
the moment, it is very fast and cases are disposed of within six
months. I think it has helped our image in terms of fighting
corruption,” said its president Datuk Dr Mohd Tap Salleh.
He shared his thoughts when asked about the Government’s initiative to fight corruption and solidify integrity.
The
14 Special Corruption Courts came into operation on Feb 16 last year in
a bid to speed up trials and clear backlog cases, said Dr Mohd Tap.
