The government has been urged not to delay the gazetting and implementation of Section 17A of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Act, which provides strict liability offence to commercial organisations for failing to prevent corruption.
“While requests to defer its implementation can be considered as businesses are hit by the pandemic, it should not be postponed for too long. The provision should be enforced by this year,” TI-M president Muhammad Mohan said in a statement today. Muhammad said the enforcement of this provision was necessary as it is an effective method to fight corruption at the corporate level.
