description Corruption has permeated in every fabric of our society, be it in politics, economy, and even social affairs.Because of that, government has established various mechanisms to tackle this problem.For example, the National Integrity Plan was launched in 2004 as an effort to address the issue of corruption.In addition to that, government has also strengthened its corruption enforcement agency by amending the Malaysian Anti-corruption.Commission Act 2009 to give more autonomous power to Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission or MACC.Despite these initiatives, corruption remains a serious social issue.The question is, at what level corruption symptoms can be alleviated? Previous literature has predominantly focused on the institutional level that includes introducing policy reforms in various government agencies.Yet, not much effort has been put at the individual level where sometimes the cause of corruption resides.This paper, therefore, argues that strengthening individual integrity through religious manifestation can have a positive impact on reducing corruption.In doing so the authors propose a method of internal education for individuals and parents as the main strategy against corruption.
