PETALING JAYA: A multi-national company in Malaysia had a whistle-blower hotline that was unsued because the employees did not trust the system.

According to PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Malaysia’s Global Economic Crime Survey 2016 (Malaysia report), the company received a number of anonymous reports, only after rigorous efforts of conveying the company’s stance on fraud to employees clearly.
