00:00A senator cautioned against pigeonholing any group as responsible for corruption, stating

00:08that it is a widespread issue among Malaysians across the board.

00:13Former MCA Vice President Thilian Kerr said corruption had become a Malaysian way of life,

00:19highlighting that many people, from traffic violators to corporate offenders, have resorted

00:25to bribery.

00:26He said the givers and takers of bribes are Malaysians of all ethnicities and faiths,

00:31including licensed traders and legal companies, who dabble in a little corruption to ensure

00:36smooth operations.

00:39By a little corruption, he was referring to protection money paid to enforcement officers,

00:44adding that such cases had been reported before.

00:47His comments follow criticism from Deputy Inspector General of Police Ayub Khan Maiden

00:52Pichai about attempts by certain individuals to racialize corruption.

00:57He said placing blame on certain communities for the widespread corruption did not deal

01:02with the root of the problem, which he said arose from autocracy and the lack of transparency.
