KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 28): DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim should ignore former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, and carry out as many of the “Reformasi” institutional reforms in the early months of the new Government, as the 10th PM of Malaysia may not have five years to do so. “He should be aware that there are political forces that are conspiring to end his premiership as early as possible. Lim added that Transparency International (TI) will release its 2022 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) next month. “It is too late for Anwar's Government to do anything to improve Malaysia’s TI 2022 CPI report, but they should do their utmost to ensure that Malaysia’s TI 2023 CPI report is the best for the country, even better than the TI 2019 CPI report, which was the best in 25 years since TI started its annual CPI series in 1995. “In fact, Malaysians must be prepared for one of the worst TI CPI reports in a month’s time,” Lim warned.
