PUTRAJAYA: It is difficult for the “no gift policy” to be implemented in Malaysia, although it has been adopted by certain organizations, said the Deputy Chief Commissioner (Prevention) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), Shamshun Baharin Mohd Jamil.
“In our culture, there is no ‘no gift policy.’
“For example, they say the ‘no gift policy’ is in place, but they still give out corporate gifts.
“That means the ‘no gifts policy’ cannot be implemented,” he told reporters after opening the second Malaysia Anti-Corruption Forum here today.
Instead, he said there should be “a gift policy,” with elaborate guidelines on what kinds of gifts can be received.
“There should be a gift policy on what you can receive or how and how much money you can give.
“That is why there should also be guidelines on political financing so that it is not limited to going to personal accounts,” he said.
