[Column] [ESG Strategies for Business] Vol.32 Malaysia’s Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Measures—Enhanced MACC Enforcement and Compliance Practices for Japanese Companies

The article titled “[ESG Strategies for Business] Vol.32 Malaysia’s Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Measures—Enhanced MACC Enforcement and Compliance Practices for Japanese Companies”, contributed by Attorney Mitsuru Misawa, has been published in the Jiji Press Malaysia Edition (issued on May 27, 2026).

This article, together with the previous one, addresses governance-related issues over two installments. This issue focuses on the latest developments in Malaysia’s anti-bribery and anti-corruption measures—particularly the strengthened enforcement by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), responses to Section 17A of the MACC Act (corporate liability for failure to prevent bribery), and the National Anti-Corruption Strategy (NACS 2024–2028)—with a focus on practical compliance measures for Japanese companies.
