EFFECT OF CORUPPTION

Corruption produces a very bad effect on the society. It destroys the ethics and the values of the

society. Corruption maes the people to do every type of bad thin!. "ue to corruption people do

not perform their duty #ell. There are many e$amples of corruptions lyin! in our society. %eoften see& #hen a common citi'en

violate a la#& police arrest him. (ut as he offers bribe to the officer& he immediately release him

after tain! the bribe from him. This sho#s that the police officer is corrupt and he not performin! his duty #ell. )ie #ise our courts are not fulfillin! their duty in a #ell manner. If 

you have money& you can mae the *ud!e tae decision in your favor. In this #ay the innocent is

 punished and the culprit released. Our politicians& doctors& en!ineers& *ournalists& teacher etc are

doin! corruption in their fields. In these circumstances #hat do you e$pect #ith our society+ Theans#er is ,*ust corruption-. %hen a common man sees corruption in every field of life& he also

maes himself a corrupt man.

Others effect of corruption in alaysia is reduced public trust in !overnment increase

vulnerability of the poor.Corruption that reduces !overnance capacity also may inflict critical

collateral dama!e/ reduced public trust in !overnment institutions. 0 declines& research hassho#n that vulnerability of the poor increases as their economic productivity is affected. The
