As part of Malaysia’s exploratory stages in strengthening its National Anti-Corruption Strategy, a delegation from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) visited the National Audit Office of Finland. Discussions covered insights on political financing oversight, whistleblower protection, and transparency in lobbying—key pillars of good governance. Notably, Finland’s newly introduced national transparency register for lobbying - avoimuusrekisteri.fi - represents an innovative tool to enhance public accountability.
While Malaysia’s journey is still in its early stages, learning from established models like Finland is vital to shaping a strong, accountable system. The Malaysian Embassy Helsinki stands ready to support ongoing collaboration.
