The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) incentivizes civil servants to combat corruption by offering monetary rewards equal to the bribe reported, upon conviction. MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki announced that over RM1 million has been disbursed to 514 officials since 2012.
The “Ringgit for Ringgit” policy may extend to the public under the National Anti-Corruption Strategy 2024-2028. This initiative aligns with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s anti-corruption stance, emphasizing no promotions for government department heads ignoring corruption.
