In late September 2026, the MACC strengthened ties with the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to combat cross-border crime and fraud. This cooperation focuses on sharing expertise, capacity building, and operational coordination. Concurrently, MACC leadership advocated for “evidence-based policymaking” to translate governance research into actionable anti-corruption policies. Following these developments, the SPRM signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). This domestic partnership aims to enhance enforcement and prevention within the digital environment. The collaboration specifically targets risks associated with digital technology and information management, including the potential use of artificial intelligence to detect corruption risks and cybercrime-related fraud. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-30: SPRM and MCMC sign MoU to boost digital corruption enforcement The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (SPRM) and MCMC signed an MoU to enhance cooperation in digital enforcement, corruption prevention, and the use of AI to combat cyber-related financial crimes. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sprm-and-mcmc-sign-mou-to-boost-digital-corruption-enforcement ### 2026-09-24: MACC and FBI strengthen cooperation to combat corruption and cross-border crime The MACC and FBI are enhancing cooperation to tackle corruption and cross-border crime, while MACC leadership calls for research-driven, evidence-based policymaking to strengthen national integrity. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/macc-and-fbi-strengthen-cooperation-to-combat-corruption-and-cross-border-crime --- Cite as: Malaysian anti-corruption agency cooperation expansion.
