The CPI is the world's most widely used indicator of public sector corruption, ranking countries by their perceived levels of corruption as determined by expert assessments and opinion surveys.
The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) is an annual index published by Transparency International since 1995. It ranks countries 'by their perceived levels of public sector corruption, as determined by expert assessments and opinion surveys.' The CPI uses a scale of 0 to 100, where 0 is highly corrupt and 100 is very clean.
Malaysia has been working steadily to improve its CPI score, with the government establishing the CPI Special Task Force to coordinate efforts across various agencies and sectors.
