KUALA LUMPUR, May 27 — The Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Anti-Corruption Foundation (YARKLS) will develop research projects on eradication of corruption in the country to help the government curb the menace.
Its chairman, Tunku Abdul Aziz Tunku Ibrahim said projects which would be implemented in the near future involved the involvement of people of all levels, including schools, student bodies and local communities.
“Schools are the first organisation we are targeting this project, as at this age, the school children can easily accept knowledge and teachings about corruption which they can apply when they are older,” he said in a press conference on “The End of Corruption in Malaysia” held at the Villa Puteri Condominium, here today.
“A special discussion will be held with the Education Ministry soon to develop the concept and suitable modules and besides taking into consideration the ideas of teachers and parents, we also plan to disseminate information on corruption through school magazines, co-curriculum and radio announcements,” he said.
Abdul Aziz said outreach and road show programmes in shopping centres and public areas around Kuala Lumpur and Selangor might also be held to provide information on corruption.
YARKLS was officially registered on May 5 as an independent corruption prevention coordinating body to represent the public. — Bernama
