SUBANG JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is taking measures to redeem its image which has been tarnished by recent incidents.
Its deputy chief commissioner Datuk Abu Kassim Mohamed said among the measures taken was that of sending its officers and staff for various courses to improve their performance so as to win back public confidence in the MACC.
"We're trying to do the right thing and in a consistent manner," he told reporters after attending an Emotional Spiritual Quotient (ESQ) course for 120 senior officers of the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM), MACC and the Attorney-General's Office here today.
Abu Kassim urged the public to be patient and not to throw baseless accusations at the MACC before an investigation into a case is completed.
"We are asking for the people to wait for the inquest (into the death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock) which is still going on and also the investigation into the case by the Royal Commission of Inquiry to be completed.
"We (MACC officers and staff) need strength of spirit as we face many challenges and obstacles in carrying out our duties," he said.
Meanwhile, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said the three-day ESQ course, which began on Friday, was attended by department directors and deputy directors and state police chiefs was aimed at enhancing their work performance in keeping with PDRM's five-year strategic plan.
"I hope PDRM can give the best service to the publice while maintaining peace and national security, besides preventing its members from committing anything negative or abusing their power," he said. - NST
