KOTA KINABALU: The state’s Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) wants more civil servants and members of the public to be on board the campaign to tackle corruption and abuse of power in Sabah. Sabah MACC operational deputy director Hasbilah Mohd Salleh said 6,000 people have registered as Gerakan Revolusi Anti Rasuah (Gerah) members in the state since it was established this year. Hasbilah noted that public awareness on the importance of sharing information on graft has increased, adding that more people are coming forward to provide the MACC with details regarding corrupt activities. He said this is thanks to the aggressive actions carried out by the MACC in pursuing corrupt parties, and the implementation of awareness programmes for the people. As part of the Convoy Tour, Sabah MACC staff will make their way to Tuaran district to raise awareness and spread their anti-graft message to the community.
