Are Malaysia’s Anti-Corruption Laws Outdated? (Opinion). “It’s high time that Malaysia’s anti-corruption laws, particularly in respect of the MACC Act (2009), be further improved to strengthen the hand of the MACC and promote an anti-corruption culture in the country...the Elections Act (1958) should be amended to require political parties and candidates to disclose their donors as well as limit campaign contributions.”
