PUTRAJAYA, Feb 27 — The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) will commence a preliminary investigation next week into governance and financial management issues involving Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), following concerns raised in the Auditor-General’s Report 2026.
In a statement issued today, MACC said the probe aims to assess whether there were weaknesses in governance or any elements of corruption, abuse of power, misappropriation of funds, or violations of laws falling under its jurisdiction.
“The commission wishes to stress that the investigation will be conducted professionally, independently, and in accordance with the law, without prejudice to any party,” the statement read.
MACC added that appropriate action would be taken should there be sufficient evidence of offences under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 or other relevant legislation.
The commission also reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that public funds are managed with transparency, integrity, and accountability, in order to safeguard public interest and maintain confidence in Malaysia’s higher education institutions.
