Malaysia's Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has emphasized that the fight against corruption begins with rejecting bribes, complying with regulations, and reporting misconduct. Deputy Chief Commissioner (Prevention) Datuk Azmi Kamaruzaman stated that building a corruption-free culture starts with honest decisions and firm personal convictions, supported by a sustained commitment from all parties involved.
Speaking at the launch of the "Program Langkah Merdeka 118, Bersama Perangi Rasuah" program, Azmi noted that the corruption-free pledge taken by Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB) Merdeka Ventures should not be a mere declaration on paper but a foundation for a clean, transparent, and ethical workplace, ensuring public trust in the organization.
MACC director Mohamad Zakkuan Talib highlighted the symbolic act of raising the MACC flag atop Malaysia's tallest building, Merdeka 118, as a sign of the commission's commitment to elevating the anti-corruption agenda and strengthening integrity without compromise. The program featured a tower run involving multiple agencies, with Lance Corporal Muhamad Khairul Izwan Mazli emerging as the champion.
The event also included an integrity exhibition featuring nearly 20 government and private-sector ministries and agencies, offering various services such as health and dental screenings, account checks with the Employees Provident Fund, National Higher Education Fund Corporation, Rahmah Sales, book sales, and jewellery sales.
