Description

Corruption poses a significant challenge in Malaysia, permeating both public and private sectors, thus presenting a multifaceted issue of considerable complexity. Analogous to a contagious ailment, it threatens to erode our economy and undermine institutional integrity over time. Corruption is a wide terminology which encompasses bribery, conflict of interest, money laundering and unethical practices.   This scourge exposes individuals and businesses to substantial legal, reputational, and financial jeopardy.

On the other hand, Money laundering, terrorism financing, and other unlawful activities have profound and far-reaching effects on societies and economies. These illicit practices undermine the integrity of financial systems and threatens national security. Understanding the impacts of these activities is crucial for developing effective strategies to combat them.
