Researchers from six local higher learning institutions, including IIUM, UiTM, UKM, UPM, USIM, and USM, will present six research papers at the conference. The conference is expected to provide a platform for sharing knowledge, exchanging views, and assessing approaches to address current challenges related to governance, integrity, and corruption risks.
