Given the research-based criticisms of CCUS technology which demonstrate more failures than successes — with primary issues being health and environmental concerns — it is unlikely that this technology will be able to fulfill its stated goals. This law demonstrates the government’s acceptance of waste being a commodity and profit-making opportunity. However, importing waste from other countries only exacerbates the issue of Malaysia being the world’s dumping ground — Malaysia has been plagued with plastic and e-waste imports, with such waste piling up in illegal landfills causing significant environmental pollution and adversely affecting human health. Accepting carbon waste poses an even bigger risk.

On Saturday, 25 January 2025, the C4 Center proudly stood alongside fellow Malaysians at the electrifying Perhimpunan Rakyat Benci Rasuah, held at Sogo and led by Sekretariat Rakyat Benci Rasuah (SRBR). Undeterred by police intimidation to suppress the rally, hundreds of passionate citizens flooded the streets, demanding justice and accountability. Their unwavering spirit sent a powerful message to the Madani government: the time for real, meaningful anti-corruption reforms is now. Malaysians will not remain silent while corruption scandals continue to plague the nation!

Solidaritas adalah kekuatan yang tidak bisa ditundukkan oleh senjata maupun seragam.
8 Mei 2026, ICW hadir di Kuala Lumpur bersama aktivis dan orang muda dari berbagai negara ASEAN untuk membangun solidaritas lintas batas dalam isu antikorupsi.
Di sana, kami berbagi cerita tentang Indonesia—tentang gerakan, tentang harapan, dan tentang kawan kami, Andrie Yunus.
Salah satu dari banyak orang muda yang berjuang untuk demokrasi, namun justru dibalas dengan represi.
Dari ruang itu, lahir pesan-pesan solidaritas untuk Andrie.
Karena keberanian tidak pernah berdiri sendiri.

Rakyat mahu institusi SPRM benar-benar bebas, telus dan tidak dipengaruhi kuasa politik atau kepentingan golongan tertentu. Rakyat juga mahu siasatan terhadap isu rasuah dan korporat mafia dijalankan secara menyeluruh tanpa memilih pihak.
Sebab itu kami menegaskan beberapa tuntutan utama:
1. Reformasi menyeluruh terhadap SPRM supaya benar-benar bebas dan dipercayai rakyat.
2. Penubuhan RCI berkaitan isu korporat mafia.
3. Dedah hasil siasatan insiden provokasi semasa himpunan #TangkapAzamBaki.
4. Jaminan hak rakyat untuk berhimpun dan bersuara tanpa gangguan atau intimidasi.

On May 8–9, the C4 Center hosted ‘Empowering Youth Voices to Fight Corruption Across Southeast Asia,’ a regional forum and workshop in Kuala Lumpur to empower the next generation of anti-corruption leaders with the support of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC, @unodc_hq ) and members of Southeast Asian Anti-Corruption Network for Civil Society Organisations (SEA-ACN). This event brought together dynamic young voices from across Southeast Asia to bridge the gap between grassroots activism and technical governance. By equipping participants with the tools to understand and interpret corruption, the forum demonstrated that while corruption is a complex regional challenge, it is not unbeatable when met with collective innovation and a demand for accountability.
Throughout the two-day program at the Renaissance Kuala Lumpur, delegates engaged in high-level panel discussions and interactive workshops to develop youth-led advocacy initiatives. Alongside the forum and workshops was the launch of a specialised anti-corruption toolkit, designed to help youth identify institutional "red flags" and push for systemic reform.
Happy Labour Day from all of us at C4 Center!
Today, we celebrate the dedication, strength, and resilience of workers everywhere. Your hard work builds stronger communities and shapes a better future.
Wishing everyone a well-deserved day of rest and recognition!
The Government Procurement Bill 2025, which passed in both Houses of Parliament last year, was presented as a landmark reform by the Madani Government to strengthen transparency and accountability. While this law is a positive step toward safeguarding public expenditure, several concerns remain that could leave the system open to abuse if left unaddressed.
On 31st March, C4 Center launched a new report, “Searching for a Remedy: Assessing Malaysia’s Government Procurements Appeal and Grievance Mechanism,” authored by Senior Research Officer Bryan Cheah. This report is an exploratory assessment of the procurement appeals mechanism. It identifies key issues, situates Malaysia’s approach within broader international standards and comparative practice, and outline areas for further consideration as the system develops.
We also had the honor of hosting Senior Fellow at the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS) Sri Murniati Yusuf on our panel discussion.

With the support of the British High Commission in Malaysia, C4 Center launched its latest report, “Searching for a Remedy: Assessing Malaysia’s Government Procurements Appeal and Grievance Mechanism,” on 31 March. The launch and subsequent panel discussion aimed to create an informed platform for dialogue between policymakers, civil society, and experts to develop tangible, actionable, and evidence-based advocacy for the government’s procurement reform plans.
We were honored to feature Ms. Sri Murniati Yusuf (Senior Fellow at the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs, IDEAS) and Mohd Hasbullah Mohd Faudzi (Principal Assistant Director at the Malaysia Competition Commission, MyCC) during our panel discussion.
The Government Procurement Bill 2025, which passed in both Houses of Parliament last year, was presented as a landmark reform by the Madani Government to strengthen transparency and accountability. A law that provides statutory standing to clear, transparent, and merit-based regulations has long been championed by numerous civil society organizations and academics, including C4 Center. While this law is a positive step toward safeguarding public expenditure, several concerns remain that could leave the system open to abuse if left unaddressed.
The government has acknowledged these concerns, stating that the Government Procurement Act, in its current form, is a work in progress and that changes may be made based on stakeholder feedback. Therefore, it is vital to ensure the Act is implemented and developed to foster a fair, independent, and transparent procurement process in Malaysia. To support this, C4 Center’s research report provides a critical analysis of the law, with a specific focus on the proposed grievance and remedy mechanisms. Drawing on international best practices and findings from stakeholder engagements, this report assesses the structure, functions, and processes of the law’s review mechanism and Appeals Tribunal.
As the current tenure of Azam Baki as Chief Commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) approaches its conclusion, we, the undersigned civil society organisations (CSOs), call for urgent reform of the appointment process that ensures meaningful Parliamentary oversight.
Public concern over the existing appointment process has been longstanding and consistent, and must be taken seriously by the government. Given the critical national importance of the MACC Chief Commissioner, the role and agency must be independent – not just in practice but also in perception – from the Executive branch.
At this juncture, it is critical to emphasise that meaningful reform cannot be achieved by shifting appointment power from one individual to another – whether within the Executive or otherwise. Concentrating such discretion in any single actor risks replicating the same structural weaknesses – risks of abuse, arbitrariness, and perceived bias. Reform efforts must therefore go beyond reallocating discretion from one actor to another.
Instead, the solution lies in institutionalising a process that distributes power and embeds accountability through Parliament.
To achieve this, the undersigned civil society organisations strongly urge the Malaysian government to:
• Immediately establish a Parliamentary Special Select Committee dedicated to overseeing the reform of the MACC, which includes the vetting and proposal of candidates for the MACC Chief Commissioner;
• Establish a clear plan of action to reform the MACC, providing assurances that power is taken away from the Executive by involving Parliament;
• Codify transparent, merit-based criteria for the appointment of the Chief Commissioner, including integrity, independence, and relevant expertise.
