摘要：Corruption is a serious problem faced by many countries, including Malaysia. Despite intensifying anti-corruption efforts, corruption in Malaysia has remained a serious problem. Although corruption has often been perceived as predominantly a public sector problem, the private sector is involved in most cases of government corruption. Ensuring good corporate governance is one of the ways to combat corruption. This study examined the perceptions of business undergraduates on two new initiatives to curb corruption and promote good corporate governance in Malaysia, namely the “No Gifts Policy” that has been adopted by several Malaysian companies and the proposed introduction of a new legislation in Malaysia which is similar to the recently enacted UK Bribery Act 2010. The new legislation plans to impose legal liability on company directors and CEOs for failure to prevent their employees from engaging in acts of corruption.
