PUTRAJAYA: Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief Abd Halim Aman has ordered all personnel to submit or update their asset declarations within one month of receiving an official notification, which will be issued at a later date.
He said the directive was among measures introduced under his leadership to strengthen the agency’s integrity and rebuild public confidence in MACC as an independent, professional and impartial institution.
“To spearhead efforts to build and maintain public trust, I am directing all MACC officers to submit their asset declarations within a month from the date the official notification is issued.
“In line with that commitment, I will personally be the first to undertake the asset declaration process,” he said in his first address at MACC’s monthly gathering here today.
Halim said MACC would not give in to pressure from any source, whether public sentiment, media scrutiny, or political influence.
“Justice and the rule of law, applied without exception or compromise, are principles we will uphold. Integrity must go beyond rhetoric and pledges; it must be demonstrated through confidential decision-making and fearless investigations,” he said.
He also cautioned MACC personnel against damaging the organisation’s reputation through wrongdoing, saying even a small act of misconduct can taint the entire institution’s integrity.
