MACC: Fighting corruption starts with rejecting bribes, reporting misconduct

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) recently emphasized that combating corruption begins with individuals making honest decisions and reporting misconduct, rather than just relying on formal procedures. Speaking at the launch of the "Program Langkah Merdeka 118, Bersama Perangi Rasuah" program, MACC Deputy Chief Commissioner (Prevention) Datuk Azmi Kamaruzaman highlighted the importance of rejecting bribes, complying with regulations, and having the courage to report corruption.

The program, organized in collaboration with Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB) Merdeka Ventures, aims to strengthen integrity and build a corruption-free culture in society. The symbolic act of raising the MACC flag atop Malaysia's tallest building, Merdeka 118, underscores the commission's commitment to elevating the anti-corruption agenda without compromise.

The event also featured various services, including health and dental screenings, account checks, and sales, as well as an integrity exhibition showcasing the involvement of government and private-sector entities.
