MACC chief urges translation of anti-corruption research into concrete policies
Abd Halim Aman said the findings from fifty governance and anti-corruption studies funded by GIACC should be turned into policies and institutional reforms.
At a conference in Putrajaya, MACC chief commissioner Abd Halim Aman called for the systematic use of research outcomes to shape Malaysia's anti-corruption policies and institutions. He noted that fifty research topics on governance, integrity and anti-corruption were funded by the National Centre for Governance, Integrity and Anti-Corruption (GIACC) between 2020 and 2025, involving six public universities. Emphasising the role of quality data and analysis, he linked the approach to the evidence-based policymaking model gaining traction worldwide.
To extend the reach of the findings beyond conference presentations, MACC has produced a compilation report covering studies presented from 2022 to 2025. Aman hopes the report will serve as a reference for policy design, system upgrades and the development of anti-corruption strategies aligned with the Malaysia Madani vision.
