Although corruption is caused by variety of reasons, the main tool proposed to prevent and combat corruption is whistleblowing. A member country to the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), Malaysia has enacted the Whistleblower Protection Act (APPM 2010) in 2010 in response to the recommendation to (UNCAC).
