Close to half of Malaysians surveyed in a global corruption study feel that corruption is on the rise in the country.
According to Transparency International's Global Corruption Barometer 2010, 46 percent of 1,000 people surveyed believe corruption has been higher this year than last year.
Another 19 percent feel it has dropped, while 35 percent say that there has been no difference.
In face-to-face interviews conducted from June 28 to July 26 this year, market research agency TNS Malaysia said that only nine percent, or 90, admitted to have given bribes in the past 12 months. The 90 said that they had bribed the police or people working in registration and permit processing, land, medical, utilities, state education or customs offices, and even the judiciary, puts Malaysia in the seventh spot among the 22 Asia Pacific countries surveyed where the people interviewed admitted to having given bribes in the past one year.
