Section 17A of Anti Corruption Act prevents graft by making companies liable to the actions of their employees


KUALA LUMPUR: The implementation of Section 17A of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Act (MACC) 2009 in June 2020 clearly demonstrated the government's commitment to combating corruption and abuse of power in a commercial organisation.

Malaysia-China Chamber of Commerce (MCCC) chairman Datuk Tan Yew Sing said it was difficult to stop such criminal activities but Section 17A was able to restrain people associated with commercial organisations from obtaining any benefits to the company.
