Despite the short stint, her firmness was clear to all parties when she acted swiftly to clean up corruption in Malaysia. Latheefa, who was earlier executive director of Lawyers For Liberty, was appointed to the top MACC post by the Pakatan Harapan government on a two-year contract effective June 1 last year after getting the consent of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
She was also fearless and outspoken when leading the commission especially with her exposure of video recording on smuggling activities at the country’s border to reveal corruption there since 2017.
