PUTRAJAYA, July 18 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) shared its strategic approach to combating large-scale corruption at Malaysia’s International Conference on Governance and Integrity (MICGI) 2025, held here on Tuesday.
The commission said its Special Operations Division senior director Datuk Mohamad Zamri Zainul Abidin, outlined several strategies including intelligence gathering through technology, forensic evidence collection, and asset recovery involving misappropriated funds transferred abroad.
During the conference, he highlighted the threats of cyber corruption and money laundering through cryptocurrency, and stressed the need to strengthen the seizure of digital assets.
"He also emphasised the importance of policy reforms, the establishment of domestic and international special task forces, as well as the implementation of Section 17A of the MACC Act 2009, which introduces corporate liability for organisations," it said in a statement today.
The MACC added that Mohamad Zamri also underscored the need to enhance enforcement against foreign bribery to safeguard national sovereignty and the integrity of Malaysian businesses at the global level.
"The MACC's aggressive efforts in fighting corruption through the government's whole-of-government approach contribute to financial security, investor confidence, and the preservation of the nation’s reputation.
"Through this conference, the MACC reaffirms its commitment to strengthening integrity, tackling large-scale corruption, and expanding international cooperation in the interest of national sovereignty and economic growth," the statement added.
The international conference was organised by the Legal Affairs Division of the Prime Minister’s Department, in collaboration with the International Anti-Corruption Academy and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
The event, launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, was attended by MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki.
