Minister in Prime Minister’s Department Paul Low has lamented the high expectations the public has had of him since assuming ministerial office, which he has been unable to fulfil.
He said people have too high expectations especially because they want to see transparency and zero corruption immediately after his appointment in charge of graft, transparency and human rights.
In an interview with Sin Chew Daily, the former Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M ) chairperson admitted he has not been able to do what the public expected.
He added it is impossible to do it as he is facing a deep-rooted culture that needs time to correct.
Low said he has yet to meet his target as reforms need a long time, but claimed the government agencies have improved a lot and he will continue with his task.
The minister survived a shock cabinet reshuffle in the midst of the country’s biggest scandal surrounding the debt-ridden 1MDB and the controversial RM2.6 billion banked into Prime Minister Najib Razak’s personal accounts, claimed to be donations for Umno.
