Therefore, the objective is this study is to examine why the implemented anti-corruption initiatives are unable to reduce corruption in the country. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with relevant personnel from the National Key Result Areas (NKRA) Corruption Monitoring and Coordination Division, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, Malaysian Royal Custom Department, Immigration Department of Malaysia and the Malaysian Royal Police. In addition, related documents such as Government Transformation Programme Reports, Corruption Perception Index Reports, and Corruption Perception Index's Sources Reports were also gathered for analysis. Results from this study showed that the lack of evidence that anti-corruption initiatives succeed in reducing corruption was caused by inadequate design of anti-corruption initiatives which refrained these initiatives from functioning effectively.
