INTRODUCTION

Politics is the process of making decisions that apply to members of a group. More

narrowly, it refers to achieving and exercising positions of governance organized control over a

human community, particularly a state. In most countries, people have formed political parties to

put forward their ideas. There is usually some disagreement between people within a party, but

they work together because they feel that they agree on enough things, and they will have more

power if they join together. They agree to take the same position on many issues, and agree to

support the same changes to law and the same leaders. An election is usually a competition

between different parties. Some examples of political parties are the Liberal party, the Labor

party, the Greens and the Conservative party.

In philosophical, theological, or moral discussions, corruption is spiritual or moral impurity or

deviation from an ideal. Corruption may include many activities including bribery and

embezzlement. Government, or 'political', corruption occurs when an office-holder or other

governmental employee acts in an official capacity for personal gain. Now-a-days corruption

can be seen everywhere. It is like cancer in public life, which has not become so rampant and

perpetuated overnight, but in course of time.When we talk of corruption in public life, it covers

corruption in politics, state governments, central governments, "business, industry and so on.

Public dealing counters in most all government offices are the places where corruption most

evident. If anybody does not pay for the work it is sure work won't be done.

It is always crying for money. It has been seen the officers who are deputed to look into the

matters of corruption turn out to be corrupt. Our leaders too are not less corrupt. Thus the

network of corruption goes on as usual and remains undeterred

THE EFFECTS OF CORRUPTION IN SECULAR COUNTRY LIKE MALAYSIA

 EFFECT ON EDUCATION

There is no such free education for us in this kind of secular country like in

Malaysia. This is because, we don’t even see the flow of the money goes . Is it goes for

our developmental of our country or is it being add on their account for their own self-

interest to fulfill their desire.

Furthermore, other countries outside the Malaysia itself giving and applying free

education for all not only for a student. These are the example of countries that applied

free education to their own people :-

1. Barbados 5. Croatia 9.Greece 13.Norway 17. Sweden

2. Brazil 6.Denmark 10.Hungary 14. Mauritius

3. Belgium 7.Finland 11.Kenya 15. Morocco

4. Sri Lanka 8.Greece 12.Malta 16. Scotland

I think it’s our own right to gain a free education since it’s a basic need for our

life. Even though, surviving in our life also need a capability and knowledge. All human

being need a knowledge in their life either in this world and the hereafter.

On the other hand, we need to improve our strategies to gain the knowledge

itself . Don’t let the corruption interrupt us to achieve the highest level of the knowledge

since it will affect the development of our own country sooner or later just because we

are not too strong to defeat it. However, once we’ve the knowledge we need to use it very

wisely and very ethically.

 EFFECT ON ECONOMIC GROWTH

Economies that are afflicted by a high level of corruption -- which involves the

misuse of power, whether in the form of money or authority, in order to achieve certain goals in

illegal, dishonest or unfair ways -- are not capable of prospering as fully as those with a low level

of corruption. Corrupted economies are just not able to function properly because corruption

prevents the natural laws of the economy from functioning freely. As a result, corruption in a

nation's political and economic operations causes its entire society to suffer. According to the

World Bank, the average income in countries with a high level of corruption is about a third of

that of countries with a low level of corruption. Also, the infant mortality rate in such countries is

about 3 times higher and the literacy rate is 25% lower. No country has been able to completely

eliminate corruption, but studies show that the level of corruption in countries with emerging

market economies is much higher than it is in developed countries. In particular, a higher bribery

mean retards both the real sales and the labour productivity growth of firms.

 EFFECT ON SOCIETY

As we know, society is one of the powerful groups which determine leader of the

country. Like Malaysia, society or the people are vital since they are the one who will vote for

the political leader to govern the country and improve their needs. However, the society will

be affected by any misconduct done by the political leaders negatively and will suffer

severely.

1. Disregard for officials :-

People start disregarding the official involved in corruption by talking negatively about him.

Disregard towards officials will also build distrust. For example, people will leave negative

comment about political leader on social media and spread any bad news about them on

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and many more.

2. Lack of respect for rulers:

Rulers of the nation like president or prime minister lose respect among the public. Respect is

main criteria in social life. People go for voting during election not only with the desire to

improve their living standards by the election winner but also with respect for the leader.

3. Affects the poor the most:

Corruption happened between politicians affects all including the society. It threatens

sustainable economic development, ethical values and justice, society become unstable and

endangers the rule of law. Since public policies and public resources are largely beneficial to

poor people, it is they who suffer the harmful effects of corruption most badly.

 EFFECT ON INDIVIDUAL

The individuals may go against to one another because of differentiation on

political thoughts. The effects of corruption somehow rose rapidly and unstoppable among the

powerful political force. The corruption also leads to lack of proper justice. The improper

justice is because of the corruption in the judiciary system and the worst part is the victims of

offense might suffer from it. A crime may also be proved as benefit of doubt due to lack of

evidence or even the evidence erased. The investigation process goes on for decades due to

the corruption in the police system. The culprits can also roam free and even perform more

crimes because of this corruption. What's more is delayed in the investigation also may effects

on chances of criminals due to the old age.

Furthermore, it will increase the high chances of unemployment. The private

education and training institutes are given permits to start providing education. This comes

into the sense that the permit is given based on the infrastructure and sufficient recruitment of

eligible staff. The corruption happens when the institute or college managements try to bribe

the quality inspectors so as to get permits. So, even if well qualified persons wish to get job,

they will not be offered.

Lastly, the failure of genuine research is also part of the corruption. Basically, the

individuals need government funding to do a research. Some of the funding agencies have

corrupt officers. These people consent the funds for research to those who are ready to bribe.

Thus, the research and development will be lagging. There are many ways that corruption

give impact to the individuals.

 EFFECT ON ADMINISTRATION

Corruption is a social and historical phenomenon, is a worldwide chronic

illness, but also the public is very concerned about the issue. Against corruption and

strengthening the building of clean government is a firm stand for every government.The

ICAC enjoys extensive investigative powers. Can be independent of the court may decide to

conduct an independent investigation of the case, the right to the suspect to take the inquiry,

search, monitoring, tracking and other means of investigation, to decide to hold a hearing or

publish a survey report, the right to investigate the facts On, to the relevant departments to

deal with recommendations and so on.

The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) annually submits

annual reports to the state legislature on issues such as anti-corruption work, budgets and

investigation reports, and proposes a corresponding anti-corruption strategic plan to

influence public sector activities and improve the ethical standards of civil servants. It also

accepts the State Council Joint Committee The question.so the country can Cut the red tape:

Bring together formal and informal processes (this means working with the government as

well as non-governmental groups) to change behavior and monitor progress.

 EFFECT ON JUDICIARY

Judicial corruption is, in itself, a threat to the independence and impartiality of

the judiciary, of fair trial. It is an attack against civil rights and liberties against the economic

development of states, against foreign investments and against the progress of democracy.

Also, judicial corruption is completely incompatible with and undermines entirely the role of

the judicial system -that of ensuring compliance with the laws and the administration of

justice in a fair, efficient and predictable manner.

Corruption in Malaysia is relatively low in comparison to the rest of East Asia.

One of the main sectors subject to corruption is public procurement, with Malaysian

companies sometimes being favored over foreign companies and with political connections

still playing an important role in the outcome of public tenders. Anti-corruption laws are

mainly contained within the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act, which covers a

range of offences (including active and passive bribery, extortion and abuse of office) and

penalties for private and public sector corruption. However, a lack of capacity and technical

skills in some areas mean the level of enforcement is sometimes lacking. Local laws do not

make an exception for facilitation payments, which should therefore be considered unlawful.
