Four MACC officers will join the 2026 International Anti-Corruption Summer Academy to enhance skills and global cooperation in tackling transnational graft.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has reaffirmed its commitment to global capacity building by sending four of its officers to the International Anti-Corruption Summer Academy programme in 2026.
Chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said this commitment was conveyed during an online discussion with the Interim Dean of the International Anti-Corruption Academy, Drago Kos, based in Laxenburg, Austria.
Azam stated that platforms like IACSA provide a strategic avenue for enforcement officers from various countries to exchange views and share best practices.
He added that such programmes enhance understanding of new approaches in addressing increasingly complex and transnational corruption crimes.
During the discussion, IACA also invited MACC officers to participate in other professional programmes offered by the institution.
Azam is expected to attend the IACA Assembly of Parties in October 2026, an important platform for member states to determine the organisation’s direction.
As a sign of continued support, MACC has expressed readiness to assist IACA in securing private sector funding to strengthen the sustainability of its training programmes.
The commission has also welcomed in principle the proposal to establish an IACA regional office in Malaysia, subject to further government consideration.
