INDONESIAN ANTI-GRAFT COMMISSION STUDYING MACC'S TRAINING MODEL
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 25 (Bernama) -- Indonesia is taking a leaf from Malaysia by establishing an anti-corruption learning centre modelled along the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Academy (MACA) to tackle corruption in that country, an official from Komisi Pembanterasan Korupsi (KPK) Indonesia said today.
This was revealed by KPK's Head of Training and Education, Firman
Yudiansyah, one of two officers from KPK who had just completed a
familiarisation course at MACA, the training division of the Malaysian
Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
MACA's objective is to enhance the competency and professionalism of MACC officers by equipping them with knowledge in fields such as investigation, prosecution, intelligence and corruption prevention.
Firman said the new centre in Indonesia was expected to be completed in May, this year.
"Based on facts we gathered, we believe the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has professional experience in dealing with the problem of corruption and KPK would like to emulate this and take it back to Indonesia,” he told Bernama here Friday.
Firman said, before deciding on the establishment of an anti-corruption learning centre in Indonesia, KPK had also visited other countries such as South Korea, Austria and Hong Kong.
"While some of the countries we visited were very good in the prevention of corruption, MACC is more experienced not only in prevention but also combating corruption," he explained.
He felt that MACC was more comprehensive and "everything is in place at the academy".
"MACC and KPK also have things in common as both carry out activities in intelligence and investigation, and educating the public on the plague of corruption. These similarities are very beneficial to KPK,” said Firman.
He also said that KPK would like to emulate MACC's investigation model in that "MACC has its own investigation team while KPK has to depend on other agencies like the police department to carry out investigations.”
