Training on the elements and types of corruption, including bribery, is delivered under Module 1: Bribery and Corruption Offences, which enables employees to understand what constitutes bribery and corruption, the associated legal implications, and their individual responsibilities under applicable anti‑corruption laws, including the Malaysian Anti‑Corruption Commission (MACC) Act. The module addresses key corruption‑related risks such as the offering or receipt of gratification, facilitation payments, abuse of office or position, and corporate liability, strengthening awareness of compliance obligations and ethical conduct. This is complemented by Module 2: Conflict of Interest, which equips employees with the knowledge and skills to identify, declare and appropriately manage actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest. The module reinforces the importance of transparency and accountability in decision‑making, helping to protect both personal integrity and the integrity of the Group. In addition, Module 3: Whistleblowing educates employees on how to safely and confidentially report misconduct, including criminal and corruption‑related offences. It enhances understanding of the protections available to whistleblowers and reinforces the importance of speaking up without fear of retaliation, supporting a strong ethical culture and early detection of wrongdoing. Collectively, these three training modules support organisation‑wide awareness, prevention and management of corruption risks, with particular emphasis on management and supervisory roles where exposure to such risks is higher.
