PUTRAJAYA: The establishment of special corruption courts is a key factor in the country’s high conviction rate of graft cases, says Tan Sri Azam Baki.

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner said in 2021, the conviction rate for corruption cases was 91.1%, which he described as a stellar achievement by the anti-graft body.
