KUALA LUMPUR: The long-awaited Malaysian Commission Against Corruption is expected to become a reality by Jan 1 as the bill will be tabled in Parliament by year-end.

Anti-Corruption Agency deputy director-general (I) Datuk Abu Kassim Mohamed said the commission will be answerable to a board of directors which will comprise of parliamentarians.

"The director-general will be answerable to these directors," he said at a press conference after attending a forum, "Independent Anti-Corruption Commission: Towards Effectively Combating Corruption and Enhancing Integrity", at the Malaysian Institute of Integrity.

Earlier in the forum, Abu Kassim said the new commission will be divided into four committees that will look into operational review, corruption prevention, citizen's advisory and community relations.

He said the commission will be given absolute powers to bring cases to court without having to go through the Attorney-General Chambers.
