The Corruption Conundrum: Separating Faith from Fact in Malaysia Abdul Hadi Awang, president of Parti Islam Se Malaysia (PAS), has long been a vocal proponent of Islamic orthodoxy as a bulwark against corruption.
In a recent social media post, he claimed that Muslims are more "protected" from corruption due to their faith, sparking outrage among critics who demand evidence to back up this assertion.
At first glance, Hadi's claims may seem like mere sloganeering, given the complex picture painted by official bribery data in Malaysia.
