More than 100,904 military personnel have publicly declared their assets, as the armed forces intensify efforts to combat corruption and misconduct, according to General Tan Sri Malek Razak Sulaiman. The military claims 97.53% of personnel have completed the asset declaration process. High-risk positions, such as procurement, equipment specifications, and financial management, will face heightened monitoring.
Several senior military officers, including former chiefs Tan Sri Mohd Nizam Jaffar and Tan Sri Muhammad Hafiz-uddeain Jantan, as well as others, have been charged with corruption and bribery in recent years. The military has implemented an Anti-Corruption Action Plan and is developing an Integrity and Anti-Corruption Plan to further strengthen governance and prevent corruption.
Personnel in sensitive positions will be continuously monitored rather than relying solely on fixed-term rotations.
