High-Level Individual Integrity Needed Before Being Given Responsibility

KUALA LUMPUR, March 10 (Bernama) -- An individual's integrity must be ensured before they are employed in any organisation, especially for positions involving public trust and responsibility.

Chairman of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Operational Evaluation Panel Datuk Ahmad Rosli Mohd Sham said integrity should not only be cultivated throughout a person's career, but rather should already exist and become a fundamental value within an individual before entering the service.

In an interview with Bernama TV titled 'The Price of Integrity: Threats and Slander', he said the strength of an organisation or country depends on the quality of its human capital.
