It has been a pretty hectic week with the arrests of several customs officers by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) -- the responsible body to lead a task force made up by the attorney-general chambers, Royal Malaysia Police, Royal Malaysian Customs Department, Immigration Department and Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM).

The task force was established as efforts to cast off institutionalised corruption in Malaysia and was preceded by a meticulously mapped-out strategies to haul those involved to the face of justice.

The year-long surveillance involves the Intelligence and Analysis Based investigations and those arrested are charged under Section 16a (A) and 17 (a) A Anti-Corruption ACt 2009 and 165 Penal Code.

Kicked off on Sept 2, a series of arrests had taken place including the arrest of an individual who faced seven charges of accepting accepting bribes totalling RM688,100 between April, 2011 and August, last year.
