PBTs Under Anti-Corruption Scrutiny

The Minister of Housing and Local Government Nga Kor Ming announced that under new anti-corruption criteria introduced this year, twelve local authorities (PBTs) have had their ratings downgraded.

We get views from Pushpan Murugiah, CEO of the Centre to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4) on how these developments could reshape accountability in local governance.
