THE fight against corruption is definitely moving into higher gear as evidenced by the announcements made by the Special Cabinet Committee on Anti-Corruption. The National Governance, Integrity and Anti-Corruption Centre (GIACC) helmed by a past chief commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has taken the bull by its horns and embarked on a series on initiatives so that there is a concerted, cohesive and coordinated effort to fight corruption.
The efforts put in to date are commendable, including the rebirth of the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) which was first established in 2006, and the revamping of the institutional infrastructure to combat corruption.
