MALAYSIA 'ON TRACK IN GRAFT WAR'

HIGH PRAISE: US federal judge lauds country’s efforts as well planned

United States federal judge Frank Montalvo, who is on a visit to Malaysia, says corruption is a problem in every country.

PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia is on the right track in fighting corruption with its well planned strategies and approaches.
United States federal judge Frank Montalvo believes that in order to prevent and deal with corruption and other crimes, every country needs to grow its own solution, besides adopting the general principles.

"For example, it has been suggested that some crimes should be included in every country's Penal Code in the United Nations Convention Against Corruption.


"From everything that I have seen, Malaysia is doing just that and is on the right track in fighting corruption," Montalvo, who was on a five-day working visit here since Sunday, said during a press conference at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters here yesterday. 


It was Montalvo's first visit to Malaysia.
