MACC to take six governance resolutions to national governance committee

At the Fifth National Research Conference on Governance, Integrity and Anti-Corruption (TIAR) 2026, six resolutions were adopted to enhance corruption prevention and governance in Malaysia, to be considered by the Special Cabinet Committee on National Governance (JKKTN).

Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman emphasized the need for these resolutions to translate into concrete improvements, including the establishment of a National Grant Governance Framework and new procurement regulations.

Emphasizing a proactive, risk-based strategy, Abd Halim also highlighted the importance of using data and risk analysis to prevent corruption through empowered Integrity Units.

PUTRAJAYA, Oct 1 — Six resolutions adopted at the Fifth National Research Conference on Governance, Integrity and Anti-Corruption (TIAR) 2026 last Friday will be submitted for consideration by the Special Cabinet Committee on National Governance (JKKTN) at its next meeting.

Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman said this was to ensure the resolutions were translated into concrete improvements to the system, particularly efforts to strengthen corruption prevention, rather than remaining merely conference outcomes.

Speaking to reporters after the MACC’s 59th anniversary celebration and monthly assembly here today, he said one resolution called for the establishment of an integrated National Grant Governance Framework (KTGGN).

He said other resolutions included developing Government Procurement Regulations (Public-Private Partnerships) as specific regulations under the legal framework to strengthen the management of government concessions, as well as enhancing the eCOSS ecosystem through smart data integration to monitor cooking oil transactions.

Abd Halim said submitting the resolutions to the JKKTN was in line with MACC’s approach of strengthening corruption prevention through a more proactive, targeted and risk-based strategy.

In a related development, Abd Halim said the JKKTN, chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, meets three times a year.

He said the committee met today, but it could not table the six resolutions because the TIAR conference concluded only last Friday.

“So I think they may be tabled at the next meeting,” he said.

Meanwhile, Abd Halim said corruption prevention efforts should draw on investigation findings, data and risk analysis to identify areas that could create opportunities for corrupt practices.

He said Integrity Units should also be further empowered as strategic partners to management in addressing systemic weaknesses and identifying risks, so that breaches of regulations could be prevented at an early stage.

Earlier in his speech, Abd Halim said MACC’s efforts could not focus solely on action after an offence had been committed; prevention must instead be strengthened through an earlier, risk-based approach. — Bernama

在 2026 年第五届全国治理、诚信和反腐败研究会议 (TIAR) 上，通过了六项决议，旨在加强马来西亚的腐败预防和治理，这些决议将提交国家治理特别内阁委员会 (JKKTN) 审议。

马来西亚反贪污委员会（MACC）首席专员拿督斯里阿卜杜勒·哈利姆·阿曼强调，这些决议需要转化为具体的改进措施，包括建立国家拨款治理框架和新的采购法规。

阿卜杜勒·哈利姆强调采取积极主动、基于风险的策略，并着重指出通过赋予廉政部门权力，利用数据和风险分析来预防腐败的重要性。

布城，10 月 1 日讯——上周五举行的第五届全国治理、廉洁与反腐败研究会议（TIAR）2026 通过的六项决议将提交国家治理特别内阁委员会（JKKTN）在下次会议上审议。

马来西亚反贪污委员会（MACC）首席专员拿督斯里阿卜杜勒·哈利姆·阿曼表示，这是为了确保各项决议能够转化为对制度的具体改进，特别是加强反贪污工作，而不仅仅是会议成果。

在今天马来西亚反贪污委员会成立 59 周年庆典暨月度大会结束后，他向记者表示，其中一项决议呼吁建立综合国家拨款治理框架（KTGGN）。

他表示，其他决议包括制定政府采购条例（公私合作）作为法律框架下的具体法规，以加强对政府特许经营权的管理，以及通过智能数据集成来增强 eCOSS 生态系统，以监控食用油交易。

阿卜杜勒·哈利姆表示，向反贪污委员会提交决议符合反贪污委员会通过更积极主动、更有针对性和基于风险的策略来加强反贪污的方针。

阿卜杜勒·哈利姆表示，在相关进展中，由首相拿督斯里·安华·易卜拉欣主持的JKKTN每年召开三次会议。

他说，委员会今天召开了会议，但由于 TIAR 会议上周五才结束，因此无法提交六项决议。

“所以我认为这些议题可能会在下次会议上提出，”他说。

与此同时，阿卜杜勒·哈利姆表示，反腐败工作应利用调查结果、数据和风险分析，找出可能滋生腐败行为的领域。

他表示，应进一步赋予诚信部门更多权力，使其成为管理层的战略合作伙伴，以解决系统性缺陷和识别风险，从而及早防止违反法规的行为。

阿卜杜勒·哈利姆在早前的讲话中表示，反贪污委员会的工作不能仅仅集中在犯罪发生后的行动上；相反，必须通过更早的、基于风险的方法加强预防。——马新社
