The Corruption-Free Pledge (IBR) were introduced by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in 2017. The IBR places emphasis on the voluntary pledge and oath; self-declaration by organizations’ leadership and members in an individual capacity to hold each of the signee accountable and responsible for carrying out their duties, and to hinder them from engaging in any corruption misconduct throughout their tenure.

The openness and accountability exhibited by members of the organization in signing the Corruption Free Pledge proves that efforts to eradicate and fight corruption are not the exclusive responsibility of MACC alone. This matter is a trust and a duty that needs to be shouldered by all members of society, especially those who serve in government agencies, to ensure that the country is free from any symptoms of corruption and abuse of power.

The five (5) covenants of Corruption-Free Pledge are as follows:

1. I will fully comply with the laws, regulations, procedures, and policies of the country relating to the prevention of corruption and abuse of power;
2. I will abhor and reject any form of corruption and abuse of power, and will fully cooperate with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission in preventing any criminal acts of corruption and abuse of power;
3. I will not engage in any form of corruption and abuse of power, whether directly or indirectly, with any party dealing with …(Department name)…;
4. I will ensure that the staff members under my supervision will not engage in any form of corruption and abuse of power in any matters relating to …(Department name)…; and
5. I will report to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, hastily, upon any form of criminal conduct of corruption and abuse of power involving me or the staff under my supervision.
