ADDRESS BY THE RIGHT HONOURABLE PRIME MINISTER TO HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS / LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES RELATED TO FINANCIAL CRIMES

PUTRAJAYA, 28 January 2026 – The National Anti-Financial Crime Centre (NFCC), as the organizer, convened the Address by the Right Honourable Prime Minister to Heads of Departments and Law Enforcement Agencies Related to Financial Crimes at the Main Hall, Ministry of Finance Complex, Putrajaya. The event featured an address by the Right Honourable Dato’ Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia, and was also attended by YB Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution bin Ismail, Minister of Home Affairs; YBhg. Tan Sri Shamsul Azri bin Abu Bakar, Chief Secretary to the Government; YBhg. Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Haji Azam bin Baki, Chief Commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission; as well as Directors General and heads of enforcement agencies.

In his address, the Right Honourable Dato’ Seri Anwar stated that enforcement agencies continue to face weaknesses in discipline and governance. As such, the MADANI Government has adopted a zero-tolerance approach towards corruption, smuggling, and any form of association with organized crime syndicates as part of efforts to implement broader structural reforms.

The Right Honourable Prime Minister further emphasized that personnel within enforcement agencies were given a one-week period to assess their commitment—whether they are prepared to uphold performance standards and integrity, or to make way for more qualified and capable individuals to assume these responsibilities.

The MADANI Government reaffirmed that the MADANI economic framework is anchored on good governance, with the objective of enhancing national growth and improving the standard of living of the people.
