This most authoritative and up-to-date book by a highly respected Malaysian citizen is a must for all who are interested in good governance and the fight against corruption in Malaysia and elsewhere.

Quotes from the book:

"Corruption is not just about money changing hands."

"At its most pervasive, corruption even compromises the sovereignty of nations."

"If we lack the political will or do not have the administrative stomach for strong, uncompromising enforcement of the laws of the land without fear or favour, then the fight against corrupt forces is already lost even before the battle lines are drawn."

"The Anti-Corruption Agency must be revamped and made an Independent Commission Against Corruption on similar lines a the highly respected and effective ICAC of Hong Kong and New South Wales, Australia."

"At present Ministers declare their assets to the Prime Minister. To whom does the Prime Minister declare his? An interesting question."
