586 complete training as certified integrity officers
KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 586 officers from the public sector, government-linked companies (GLCs) and the private sector have been accredited as certified integrity officers.
Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said they received accreditation after completing four main modules of the Certified Integrity Officer Programme (CEIO).
"The programme was introduced in 2010 to strengthen governance and integrity in the relevant sectors.
"So far 2,851 officers have been trained in the programme," he said at the accreditation ceremony here on Tuesday (April 22).
Certified integrity officers are tasked with planning, implementing and monitoring the effectiveness of integrity programmes while fostering a work culture with high integrity aimed at preventing corruption, he added.
"This is not just a training programme. It is a long-term strategic investment in building a system of government that is transparent, ethical and corruption-free.
"The success of the national integrity agenda depends on the commitment of all parties, especially the top leadership, policy implementers and integrity officers, which drives a culture of integrity," he said.

Over RM4mil in 1MDB-linked funds in Swiss bank account recovered by MACC
PETALING JAYA: Over RM4mil traced to a Swiss bank account and linked to the embezzlement of 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) funds was successfully recovered recently by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). The commission said in a statement on Friday (June 13) that the sum of USD954,299.58 found in a BSI bank account was returned to the Malaysian government. The MACC said the forfeiture was granted by High Court judge Muniandy Kannyappan on learning from the prosecution that no objections or claims were made by any party in relation to the funds during proceedings at the Kuala Lumpur High Court on Friday. The commission said judge Muniandy allowed the funds, which were in a bank account registered in the name of Derivale Limited and named one Azlin bin Alias as the beneficiary, to be forfeited to the Malaysian government through the MACC. The forfeiture was made under Section 56 of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLATFPUAA 2001). The case was also the MACC's first success in recovering overseas assets without resorting to the process of prosecution.
