PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is calling on more members of the Chinese community to join the commission as officers in efforts to combat corruption.
MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Abu Kassim Mohamed said MACC needed this participation, especially by newly-graduated youths, to educate the Chinese community on the scourge of corruption and also to handle their complaints.
"There is a lack of Chinese officers in MACC. It cannot be denied that salary is a main factor for them when looking for employment.
"Nonetheless, the salary of an MACC officer is actually relatively high compared to the private sector, especially among degree holders," he said in a dialogue session with the Chinese community at the Sin Chew Daily headquarters here.
He said Chinese youths interested in joining MACC could refer to the Public Service Commissioner website for recruitment as well as application procedures.
The two-hour dialogue session was organised by the Chinese language Sin Chew newspaper and was attended by more than 70 participants from the community. - Bernama
