GEORGE TOWN, September 21 — The Consumers’ Association of Penang has urged Parliament to strengthen oversight of public institutions and tackle networks.
That enable corruption and financial misconduct. CAP president Mohideen Abdul Kader said major scandals should not be treated as isolated cases, with accountability extending to intermediaries.
And professional enablers where evidence supports their involvement. He called for greater transparency in senior appointments, stronger oversight of government-linked companies.
And improved whistleblower protection. CAP also urged tougher asset recovery and professional sanctions, saying Malaysia must prevent systemic failures rather than respond only after public money is lost.
