For a start, MACC, among nine other government agencies, has been operating as independent entity since 1st July 2018 and to report directly to Parliament.
These five committees are namely Anti-Corruption Advisory Board, Special Committee on Corruption, Complaints Committee, Operations Review Panel, and Corruption Consultation and Prevention Panel. Even Hong Kong’s ICAC does not have these five committees. Therefore, our government of the day must ensure that not only our MACC is capable, functionally independent and well-resourced anti-corruption agency in line with United Nations Convention Against Corruption Article 6 – Preventive Anti-corruption Bodies and Article 36 – Specialized Authorities but also the Jakarta Statement on Principles for Anti-Corruption Agencies.
Malaysia signed the UNCAC on 9th December 2003 and subsequently ratified it on 24th Sept 2008. The Convention entered into force on 4 October 2008 for Malaysia.
