Abstract
Analysis on the Instrumental and Experiential Attitudes towards Bribery among Youths from Different Types of Primary and Secondary Schools in Malaysia
Highlights
It is virtually impossible not to think of corruption as one of the principal reasons why Malaysia has failed to achieve its Vision 2020 and to be recognized as a developed nation
Kruskal-Wallis test was used and the results indicated that there were no significant differences found between instrumental attitudes or experiential attitudes towards bribery among youths from four different types of schools selected in this study
Many Malaysians have expressed their opinions regarding corruption and educational issues that occurred in the country, but there is very limited scientific knowledge that might be relevant to the types of schools attended and bribery
Summary
It is virtually impossible not to think of corruption as one of the principal reasons why Malaysia has failed to achieve its Vision 2020 and to be recognized as a developed nation. From 20132017, the country has lost about RM235 billion (about USD 56 billion) due to corruption. This is about four per cent of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) every year (Bradbury & Yuvaraj, 2019). Money that could be used for development was spent in the form of corruption. Understanding the root cause of corrupt behaviour is crucial in order to curb this dishonest behaviour. Jeff Sessions, the U.S attorney-general, used the term “kleptocracy at its worst” to describe this scandal (Sipalan, 2017)
