The beleaguered president of Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M), Datuk Paul Low, was today re-elected to his post at an extraordinary general meeting (EGM).
“I feel the members of TI-M still believe in what I do and in my leadership, in spite of what others say,” he said, referring to the numerous criticisms he received since being first elected, earlier this year.
He came under scathing attack even from within the anti-graft group’s executive committee and was called to publicly explain his membership in MCA and even his tie to the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM).
He was also threatened with a lawsuit for a damaging report by the Berlin-based parent body on an ongoing investigation into the multi-billion ringgit Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) scandal.
Low said half of the executive committee were new faces and had sworn to back him fully in the body’s fight against corruption, which is its main mission.
