OVERVIEW

In recent years, there has been a rise of corruption acts not only globally but as well as in Malaysia. Although, the Corruption Perception Index (CP1) shows that Malaysia has fallen in rank from 55th to 62nd, latest findings from Global Corruption Barometer (GCB) also states that over 59% of Malaysia citizens agree to the rise of corruption. Accordingly, based on the Business Integrity Country Agenda 2017 (BICA), it has been found that Malaysia has scored unsatisfactorily in areas such as prohibiting undue influence, political contribution control and whistle blowing policies.

It is now therefore imperative that corporate liability be imposed on companies because it helps to prevent private corruption. In this regard, the newly included provision in the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) (Amendment) Act 2018, namely Section 17A, criminalizes an organization of all sizes for corruption related action by associated person done for the benefit of the company.

KEY OBJETIVES
