Abstract

Purpose - Corruption is a serious problem in Southeast Asian countries. Based on the average ranking of Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index, Malaysia is ranked as the second least corrupt country among Southeast Asian countries. However, this country is still facing problems in its fight against corruption, in which efforts undertaken to prevent corruption have been said to be “unsatisfactory.” The purpose of this paper is hence to examine previous literature for the possible factors affecting the success of anti-corruption efforts in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach - This study analyzes previous studies conducted on Malaysia’s experiences in its fight against corruption. Findings - The findings of this paper indicate four attributes that lead to the failure of anti-corruption efforts in Malaysia. Originality/value - This paper will be useful for scholars, policymakers and anti-corruption practitioners who are interested in Malaysia’s experiences in fighting corruption.
