The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief, Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman, addressed personnel at the organisation's 59th anniversary celebration and monthly assembly. He urged MACC staff to confront weaknesses within the organisation and learn from mistakes. According to Abd Halim, a strong organisation admits its shortcomings and takes corrective action.
He highlighted the need to improve areas such as procurement, investments, asset management, appointments, and internal controls. These shortcomings should serve as lessons for strengthening governance and preventing similar problems from recurring. The MACC chief emphasized that the organisation cannot rely solely on traditional methods, and must strengthen its intelligence, financial analysis, forensic, and technological capabilities.
Abd Halim also called for enhanced cooperation with other agencies to keep pace with sophisticated corruption offences. He urged MACC personnel to develop expertise in law, technology, data analysis, finance, communications, and forensics. The MACC has dealt with several high-impact cases, including investigations involving top military leadership, Felda, the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Lembaga Tabung Haji, and large-scale misappropriation of funds. Abd Halim thanked MACC personnel and other parties involved in these investigations.
