Jakarta: The Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta expressed its commitment to working with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on an anti-corruption education initiative for Malaysian officials and students in the republic.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, MACC Community Education Division (PenMas) director Datuk Ahmad Nizam Ismail stated that this collaboration was discussed during his courtesy call on the Malaysian Ambassador to Indonesia, Datuk Syed Mohamad Hasrin Tengku Hussin, in Jakarta yesterday. Ahmad Nizam Ismail affirmed MACC's support and dedication to ensuring the program's success.

The planned programs include the Integrity Talk, the Corruption-Free Pledge, and the Integrity Seminar on Public Fund Management by the National Association of Malaysian Students in Indonesia (PKPMI), in conjunction with the Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta's Integrity Day 2025, set for September. Ahmad Nizam emphasized that the meeting served as an excellent platform for both parties to exchange views following an application by Education Malaysia Indonesia director Dr Hasnul Faizal Hushin Amri.

Syed Mohamad Hasrin also reiterated the Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta's commitment to promoting integrity, transparency, and accountability among Malaysian government officials and agencies under its jurisdiction. He noted that hosting Integrity Day 2025 aligns with the National Anti-Corruption Plan (NACP), which aims to embed a culture of integrity across all levels of public administration, both domestically and internationally, among Malaysian student associations abroad.

In attendance at the meeting were MACC PenMas deputy director Samsul Salip and deputy chief of mission of the Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta Farzamie Sarkawi.
