What proportion of MACC reports are related to the police?

Question

Accepted Answer

Proportion of MACC Misconduct Reports Related to the Police Remains Unspecified

The precise proportion of Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) misconduct reports specifically related to the police cannot be determined from the available information. While it is stated that 125 out of 553 unaddressed reports involve the police, the total number of reports submitted to all government agencies is not provided, which is necessary to calculate a definitive percentage.
Over 500 Misconduct Reports Unaddressed

MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki indicated that a significant number of alleged misconduct reports, totalling 553, have been left unaddressed by various government agencies. These reports, which are submitted to department heads regarding potential wrongdoing by their subordinates, are often ignored despite reminders from the MACC. Some of these reports date back as far as 12 years.
Police Account for a Substantial Number of Reports

Among the unaddressed reports, 125 are specifically linked to the police force. While this represents a notable portion of the outstanding cases, Azam Baki noted that it is understandable given the large number of enforcement personnel within the police department. Other agencies that have received such reports include the Road Transport Department, courts, the Prime Minister’s Office, religious authorities, health departments and hospitals, and universities.
Process for Handling Misconduct Reports

When MACC identifies elements of misconduct during its investigations, particularly those not strictly criminal in nature, it reports these findings to the relevant heads of departments. These department heads are expected to acknowledge receipt of the report and subsequently review it through a committee. This committee assesses the merit of the MACC's report and decides on the appropriate course of action, which could range from disciplinary measures to closing the case if deemed not to have merit. The authority for department heads to decide on actions against subordinates after a misconduct investigation is stipulated by the Federal Constitution.
