PUTRAJAYA, March 31 (Bernama) -- Strategic intelligence channelled by officers in Integrity Units (UI) and Integrity and Governance Units (IGU) within government agencies has helped the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) record 65 arrests and 379 charges involving corruption cases in 2025.
MACC Deputy Chief Commissioner (Prevention) Datuk Azmi Kamaruzaman said the achievement reflects the effectiveness of strategic collaboration and the commission’s continued commitment to strengthening governance and integrity in the public service as well as government-linked companies (GLCs).
“A total of 104 intelligence inputs were channelled through the MACC’s Agency Integrity Management Division (BPIA) last year for further action, marking a 0.9 per cent increase from 96 in 2024,” he said in a statement here today.
He said the MACC would continue to strengthen its enforcement role in combating corruption through the channelling of strategic intelligence by officers placed in UIs in public agencies, as well as IGUs.
He added that in line with the aspirations of the 13th Malaysia Plan (2026-2030), Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has also emphasised the need to empower the role of UIs in government agencies as a key line of defence against corruption.
“As of March 31, 2026, 100 MACC officers are stationed in UIs and IGUs, comprising 92 officers in UIs of public agencies and eight officers in IGUs of government-linked companies (GLCs).
“This further expands oversight and prevention roles across various strategic sectors of the country,” he said.
Azmi also reminded officers stationed in external agencies to uphold proper conduct and discipline in line with the trust placed in them.
In addition, he said UI and IGU officers are urged to play a proactive role in carrying out continuous monitoring, including the preparation of MACC Reports (LSPRM) and advisory recommendations for the agencies under their supervision, which have been made a standing agenda in Governance Committee (JTK) meetings as part of efforts to strengthen governance.
Earlier, Azmi chaired the MACC senior management meeting with officers seconded to external agencies.
The meeting also included an engagement session between MACC officers in external agencies and BPIA director Lim Bee Kean, as well as representatives from the Public Sector Integrity Investigation Division (CBA).
