The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has a formal procedure for recognizing and rewarding civil servants who report on public bribery offences. The initiative is designed to raise public sector awareness about corruption, encourage reporting of violations and improve public perceptions about the integrity of civil servants. Reports are made to the Anti-Corruption Commission or law enforcement authorities and, on successful prosecution of an offence, may entitle a reporting official to public recognition and a financial award based on the circumstances of the case. As of 2022, a total of $ 175,000 in rewards has been awarded by the MACC to civil servants who have contributed information on corrupt practices that have been instrumental in legal action against offenders. Other provisions under Malaysian law regulate gifts in connection with an official’s public duties and require public officials to report any bribe offered, promised or given to them.
