MACC study: Students prepared to fight corruption

A Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) study on the effectiveness of the Corruption Prevention Secretariat set up at institutions of higher learnings (IPT) found that 73.2 per cent of students are  prepared to report corruption cases.

MACC chief commissioner Abu Kassim Mohamed said it also proved the effectiveness of the programme set up since 2007 which was operated by students from 20 public IPT.

"The functions and roles of the secretariat are to disseminate the importance of anti-corruption, abuse of power and misappropriation among IPT students and educate them on corruption prevention programmes," he said when opening an MACC IPT convention at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia tonight.

Abu Kassim said as future leaders of the country, all students should be educated from the young so that they would not be influenced by corruption.
