The anti-corruption chief also calls for those convicted of corruption to be declared bankrupt so that they can no longer enjoy stolen wealth.

PETALING JAYA: Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief commissioner Azam Baki today called for those found guilty of corruption to be declared bankrupt.

Azam said MACC will focus on more aggressive investigations into high-profile and large-scale cases next year to ensure that people with power, influence, or wealth are not beyond the reach of the law.

MACC would intensify its asset recovery efforts throughout next year in line with its strategy to minimise leakages and ensure that corrupt persons cannot benefit from their ill-gotten gains.
