MINGGU lalu ketika Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim dilantik menjadi Perdana Menteri ke-10, kita dipaparkan oleh media massa dan media sosial ucapan-ucapan tahniah dari pemimpin-pemimpin luar negara di mana ada yang berpendapat ia satu langkah positif untuk menarik pelaburan asing ke dalam negara di saat situasi ekonomi dunia dalam keadaan tidak menentu.
Namun berlainan pula kali ini apabila Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim mengumumkan pembentukan barisan kabinetnya malam tadi kerana rata-rata media Antarabangsa membicarakan anggota Kabinet kanan yang dilantik Perdana Menteri terpalit dengan perbicaraan kes rasuah.
Tarikan utama pelabur asing adalah polisi-polisi pelaburan dan cukai yang menarik, kemudahan infrastruktur yang baik, kerajaan dan iklim politik yang stabil di samping yang paling utama ialah kerajaan yang bersih, berintegriti dan cekap.
Rasuah adalah satu iklim pelaburan yang tidak baik untuk pelabur asing dan jika begini berita yang dipaparkan media Antarabangsa, ia tentunya mampu menimbulkan persepsi yang tidak baik terhadap Malaysia yang mungkin merencatkan minat pelabur asing untuk melabur di dalam negara.
Dari sudut lain, ia tentunya memberikan gambaran yang tidak baik untuk rakyat dan negara di mata dunia.

Anwar Ibrahim: Honeymoon as Malaysian PM will be brutally short
The most controversial is the appointment of Ahmad Zahid, the powerful UMNO president, as one of the two deputy prime ministers. There was strong opposition to the appointment because Mr Zahid faces multiple criminal charges dating back to his time in the discredited administration of former prime minister Najib Razak, who is serving a 12-year prison sentence for corruption.
