KUALA NERUS: A digital platform incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) and gamification to strengthen anti-corruption awareness among undergraduates has been launched by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
The anti-graft agency’s Chief Commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman said the initiative, called Maccampus, reflects their commitment to engaging university students in enhancing integrity education, corruption prevention and positive values through smartphones and information technology applications.
“To ensure MACC remains capable of engaging university students consistently and effectively, it requires a more innovative, interactive and technology- driven educational approach,” he said when speaking at the Integrity Financial Literacy @ Student Anti-Corruption Programme 2026 at Dewan Sultan Mizan, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) here.
He said Maccampus would serve as a digital hub for students involved in anti-corruption initiatives, particularly members of the Student Anti-Corruption Force (Amar), while facilitating collaboration among participants from more than 120 higher learning institutions.
The application also features learning modules with academic collaboration platforms and student networking functions, and could be expanded to support competitions, mini projects, academic forums as well as the sharing of ideas and research among students nationwide, Bernama reported.
Being the first anti-corruption and integrity education application of its kind to be developed by MACC, Maccampus has the potential to become a technology and intellectual-based platform that integrates education, simulation, gamification, AI and academic collaboration.
Through the application, students are expected to become more knowledgeable, confident in making ethical decisions and capable of serving as agents of change who drive a culture of integrity on campuses and in society.
Abd Halim said all university students should make full use of this application to share ideas, reflect and engage in scholarly discourse through its modules, forums and academic discussions.
“This is your space to debate constructively, challenge the status quo with sound arguments and distinguish between facts and propaganda that may distort thinking,” he added.
Also present at the programme were UMT pro-chancellor and Employees Provident Fund Board chairman Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali and UMT vice-chancellor Prof Dr Mohd Zamri Ibrahim.
