KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (MNTV) — Malaysia and Brunei have joined hands to fight corruption, New Straits Times reports.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) earlier this week welcomed the Brunei Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) officials to its headquarters, reaffirming their commitment to strengthening cooperation in the fight against corruption.
The ACB delegation, led by ACB director Datin Paduka Anifa Rafiza Abd Ghani, was received by MACC Chief Commissioner Azam Baki at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya.
Discussions focused on enhancing ties between the two agencies, with a particular emphasis on intelligence-sharing and capacity-building initiatives.
Key topics included intelligence training organized by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Academy (MACA) and the placement of officers in the Master of Social Science (Corruption Studies) program at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), in collaboration with MACC.
Azam showed his support for the collaboration, saying that the MACC is always open to sharing advisory services and expertise with ACB in administration and operational procedures.
“The MACC looks forward to deepening our cooperation with ACB and is committed to sharing our knowledge to help tackle corruption more effectively,” Azam said in a statement following the meeting.
