PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia will be sharing its experience and success in combating corruption holistically and effectively at the 16th International Anti-Corruption Conference (IACC), to be held here in September.
MACC deputy chief commissioner (Prevention) Datuk Mustafar Ali said among the successes were the setting up of 14 Corruption courts and the publishing of corruption offenders’ data on MACC website.
He said the two successes under the National Key Result Areas (NKRA) were strong enough in reflecting the country’s seriousness and commitment in fighting corruption.
“Malaysia is committed to learn and share information with anti-corruption friends from all over the world.
“This will not only be the platform to share views and experiences, but Malaysia also wants to learn from leading experts around the world on the progress and challenges in fighting corruption,” he told a press conference here yesterday.
Mustafar said the conference, themed ‘Ending Impunity: People, Integrity, Action’, would be hosted by MACC for the first time, in collaboration with the IACC Advisory Council, Transparency International (TI) and Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M).
“It is an honour to be chosen as the host of the 16th IACC,” he said. The conference will be held from Sept 2 to 4 at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC). Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Paul Low Seng Kuan is scheduled to open the conference.
The IACC is the world’s premier forum that brings together heads of state, communities, leaders from the private sector and non-governmental organisations to address the increasingly sophisticated challenges posed by corruption. — Bernama
