KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has vowed to continue investigating individuals engaged in corrupt activities, even if such practices go unnoticed.
Its Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said while it took five to six years to detect and investigate certain corruption cases previously, the rapid growth in technology currently had helped the commission to detect cases faster.
He also said MACC has sped up its investigation process and detection due to the information given by informants.
"Back then, there were times when it took five to six years for us to notice (a corruption case).
"However, we have sped up the process in terms of initial detection due to the information given by the informants. While we do not investigate all of it, this (the information) is our guidance for every issue that is being reported.
"Hence, I am warning everyone that MACC will eventually come. If your wrongdoings go unnoticed, we will get to it eventually next year (with the information we receive)," he said during MACC's special interview with Sarawak FM, today.
At the same time, he also called out to the public not to undermine technology which has enabled those who live in rural areas to lodge a report with the graft buster.
"In some cases, for example, they make false claims (for money) and they think that it will go unnoticed because no one will report it.
"However, I'm telling you not to undermine those who live in rural areas as if they are not tech-savvy because they are skilled in using smartphones, too."
