BANGI: Graft busters received a total of 34,819 reports from 2020 to April 2025, says Tan Sri Azam Baki.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner said from the reports received, 5,145 investigation papers were opened while 5,703 individuals were detained.
"Of those detained 2,479 have been charged and 1,274 were found guilty by the courts.
"We also seized some RM3.5bil in assets and funds and performed forfeiture of RM27.8bil of assets and properties during the five-year period," he said in his speech during the second MACC Law Enforcement Accreditation Programme Convocation ceremony on Thursday (June 12).
He said the role of the graduates in anti-corruption enforcement is important.
"You are not only expected to be free from corruption but also to raise awareness and understanding about the importance of combating it," he said.
Azam said the MACC will not compromise in taking action against any individual, including its own officers if they are involved in corrupt activities.
"Be the unsung hero who is firm in holding on to principles. The value of integrity is priceless and must be preserved," he added.
