PUTRAJAYA, Dec 11 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim fired his first salvo against corruption by warning cabinet ministers that anyone involved in bribery or misuse of power will be booted out immediately.
Anwar said he would not compromise on such culture in the unity government that he leads.
“I have informed the cabinet ministers whom I have chosen, that first and foremost, there should be no corruption.”
“I have also informed all component party leaders that if any minister is involved in corruption, I will seek their mandate to sack them immediately,” he said in his speech at the ‘Program Pertemuan Mahabbah Perdana Menteri Bersama Ulama dan Asatizah’ here today.
The prime minister said the reminder was not a political gimmick but rather his confidence that he can free the country of corruption.
