The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s investigative and intelligence approach needs to be enhanced in an effort to track down assets stolen by corrupt criminals, said MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki.
‘I want to make them bankrupt and this can bring a ‘scare factor’ to them so that they think many times before committing crimes related to corruption,‘ he told Bernama in a recent interview. “Imagine corrupt criminals park their property with a ‘proxy’, who knows.

In addition to enforcement, MACC also plays a role in prevention and community education through mainstream media and campaigns on social media. “Now, we focus on the flow to help the country in economic development. Therefore, we focus on important areas to help make cost savings in efforts to prevent corruption,” he said.
