Kuala lumpur: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is embarking on an initiative to develop anti-corruption educational content specifically tailored for preschool students, as announced by its Chief Commissioner, Tan Sri Azam Baki. This initiative is being developed in partnership with Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) and Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM).

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the program aims to introduce young children to the concept of corruption and its negative impacts through engaging mediums like comics and digital content. Tan Sri Azam Baki stated that the proposal, once finalized, will be presented to the Ministry of Education (MOE) in a format that is easily comprehensible for preschoolers. The primary goal is to nurture an early understanding that corruption is detrimental.

In addition to educational initiatives for young children, the MACC is keen on collaborating with local filmmakers to produce films that showcase the commission's efforts and achievements in combating corruption. Azam shared that three production companies have already shown interest in such collaborations. He emphasized the importance of having clear storylines with strong anti-corruption messages and suggested that featuring well-known actors could help draw more public interest to these films.
