Malaysia's MACC Boosts Anti-Corruption Education, Learning From Denmark and Norway
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is strengthening its anti-corruption education strategy at the grassroots level. It's learning from nations renowned for their low corruption levels, such as Denmark and Norway, to achieve its long-term vision.
MACC's approach goes beyond merely informing about corruption offences. It focuses on character building, instilling integrity values in the younger generation who will shape Malaysia's future.
The commission sees cultural arts programmes like dikir barat as powerful tools to unite communities and deliver anti-corruption messages creatively. By engaging youth in this way, MACC aims not to address existing corruption exposure, but to prevent it by fostering a culture of integrity from an early age.
While MACC looks to Denmark and Norway for inspiration, specific details about the implementation of these strategies in 2021 are not yet available.
MACC's ultimate goal is ambitious yet clear: to make Malaysia one of the world's top 25 countries in the Corruption Perception Index. By starting with grassroots education and learning from successful international models, MACC is taking a significant step towards achieving this aim.
