MACC and MOF boost collaboration against corruption and leakages, forming a task force to protect Malaysia’s economic sovereignty.
PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and the Ministry of Finance (MOF) are stepping up their joint efforts to combat corruption, misappropriation and leakages to protect the country’s economic sovereignty.
The commitment was reflected in a courtesy visit by MACC Chief Commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman to Treasury secretary-general Tan Sri Johan Mahmood Merican at the MOF here today.
The nearly hour-long strategic meeting provided an important platform for both sides to strengthen cooperation, particularly in handling high-profile cases.
Abd Halim said in a statement that the MACC and the MOF also discussed the formation of a task force or special committee to address related matters as required by current needs.
“To ensure more thorough investigations and asset recovery, discussions centred on the special task force and committee established specifically to handle the case.
“The MACC also said it was ready to provide full cooperation and comprehensive support in legal, enforcement and technical aspects to resolve related cases at their root cause,” he added.
