THE Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) welcomes the MADANI Budget 2026 presented by the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, today. This budget reflects the Government’s strong commitment to strengthening integrity, combating corruption, and closing revenue leakage gaps for the well-being of the people.
MACC commends the Government’s firm stance that corruption, abuse of power, and leakages are highly detrimental to the country. The firm and impartial enforcement actions which successfully recovered national revenue amounting to RM15.5 billion over the past two years clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of joint actions by enforcement agencies.
"In this regard, MACC greatly appreciates the Government’s allocation of more than RM700 million to enhance the capacity of enforcement bodies, including MACC, particularly in areas of training and asset procurement.
"MACC also commends the introduction of the Government Procurement Bill and the implementation of the Public Finance and Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA), which are important institutional reforms aimed at improving the procurement system and ensuring transparency in the management of public funds," it said in a statement.
MACC also expressed its support for the Government’s proposal to approve tax deductions for contributions to anti-corruption programmes recognised by MACC as national interest projects. This initiative will open up greater opportunities for collaboration with civil society and the private sector, thereby encouraging public participation in the anti-corruption agenda.
"MACC reiterates its commitment to carrying out its mandate independently, transparently, and professionally through education, prevention, and enforcement initiatives.
"In line with the aspirations of the MADANI Budget 2026, MACC is confident that with the support of the people, the culture of integrity can be further strengthened, good governance enhanced, and anti-corruption efforts intensified for the benefit and well-being of the rakyat," it added. - October 10, 2025
