As this bank is set up by the Government in 1965, the fraud has political implications. This thesis discusses the internal structure of the organisation as well as the political and social climate conducive to fraud and corruption in Malaysia. Two other major financial fraud cases in Malaysia will be discussed as comparative case studies. Fraud and corruption trends in other countries will also be discussed to illustrate that the Malaysian case is not a unique one. In chapter one, a theoretical framework suitable for the studies of crime in developing countries will be formulated. In Malaysia, the historical development of the country is important. Chapter two introduces the concepts and definitions of crimes at the workplace, in particular fraud. Chapter three tries to trace the detailed movements of the funds that were defrauded in the Bumiputra Malaysian Finance Limited (BMF) case. In doing so, they give a good idea of how frauds can occur and how they can be prevented. Chapter four is an analysis of the BMF case. The chapter is divided into two sections. The first section is the micro-analysis which deals with the structure of the organisation that is problematic. The second section is the macro-analysis which deals with the wider political and social structure that is problematic. Chapter five is on the comparative case studies which tries to establish the trend of how public organisations can be defrauded in Malaysia. A comparison with other countries will also show that the Malaysian case is not a unique one. Chapter six deals with the overall commercial crime scenario in Malaysia. Chapter seven tries to give some suggestions on combating and preventing fraud. The thesis is concluded with chapter eight. 2 Table of Contents Acknowledgements...................................... 7 Abbreviations......................................... 8 Introduction and methodology......................... 10 Chapter One Theories of crime in developing countries (with specific reference to Malaysia) .......... 21 Chapter Two Concepts and definitions of crimes at the workplace (in particular fraud)...................... 62 Chapter Three The Bumiputra Malaysian Finance Limited case................................................. 74 Chapter Four Analysis of the BMF case............................ 165 Chapter Five Comparative case studies............................ 268 Chapter Six General commercial crime rate in Malaysia............ 304 Chapter Seven Combating and preventing fraud...................... 348 Chapter Eight Conclusion.......................................... 403 Bibliography........................................ 420 3 List of Tables and Illustrative Material A*I.

Its parent bank is the Bank Bumiputra Malaysia Berhad (BBMB) in Malaysia. However, because this bank was set up by the Government in 1965, the fraud had political implications. This thesis tries to piece together the complicated BMF case in order to show how fraud offences can be committed in financial institutions. In the BMF case, M$2.5 bil. (approximately £0.625 bil.1) were lost. Two other major financial fraud cases which took place in Malaysia will also be discussed as comparative case studies to establish a trend of how corrupt politicians and elite members of society defraud institutions set up by the Government. This will entail an analysis into the internal structure of the organisations as well as the political and social climate conducive to fraud and corruption in Malaysia. Finally, the pattern of fraud and corruption in Malaysia will be compared with those in other countries of different social and political systems, and economic situations.

  • IJEM Determinants of Crime in Malaysia
    Int. Journal of Economics and Management 11 (S3) : 607 – 622 (2017) IJEM International Journal of Economics and Management Journal homepage: http://www.econ.upm.edu.my/ijem Determinants of Crime in Malaysia: Evidence from Developed States SURYATI ISHAK* AND YASMIN BANI Faculty of Economics and Management, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Malaysia ABSTRACT Despite the alarming statistics and growing concerns over crime, the study of crime in Malaysia has received little attention and is largely neglected by the literature on crime in general. Thus, this study is an attempt to add to the existing literature on crime research in developing countries, specifically, in Malaysia. This study aims to determine the socioeconomic and socio-demographic determinants of crime in four developed states of Malaysia from 1990 to 2008. The study utilises fixed effects to examine the determinants of crime in selected states. The findings reveal that GDP per capita, unemployment rate, population density and the number of police officers are significant determinants of total and property crime. On the other hand, violent crime is determined by population density and number of police officers only. The robustness test shows that both population density and the number of police officers are the determinants of property and violent crimes. Keywords: crimes, developed states, fixed effect, socio-demographic determinants JEL Classification: J24, K42 INTRODUCTION Crime is a major public concern and has received considerable attention through extensive coverage in newspapers and electronic media in recent years. It can be defined an activity that is against the laws of a nation. However, the meaning of the term ‘crime’ itself varies across countries depending on the respective laws of the nations.

Although education is a relatively new phenomenon in the English and Welsh penal system, by the 20th century, education had become an integral part of prison life. It served partly as a control mechanism and partly for more altruistic needs. Until 1993 the management and delivery of education and training in prisons was carried out by local education authority staff. Since that time, the education responsibility has been contracted out to organizations such as the Staff College, other universities, and private training organizations. Various policy implications were resolved in order to allow these organizations to provide prison education. Today, prison education programs are probably the most comprehensive of any found in the country. They may range from literacy education to postgraduate study, with students ranging in age from 15 to over 65. The curriculum focuses on social and life skills.

Karim Raslan discusses the strengths Expectations and weaknesses of Mahathir’s hand-picked successor,Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

  • Pm: Learn Good Moral Values
    PM: LEARN GOOD MORAL VALUES By HOHAtZAO A RAHIM PETALING JAVA: A "get-rich-quick" cul• ture evolving in the country has damaged society^ moral and ethical values, Datuk Sen Dr Mahathir Mohamad said. This culture must be contained and this could be done through education, the Prime Minister said yesterday. "It must be done away with and replaced with one that gives priority to long-term gams." he said when opening the Sunway College and a waterpark. He said the alternative culture should also take into consideration society's interests over the indi• vidual's. While education would help, he said, emphasis must be given to instilling moral and ethical values in people's pursuit for higher education. Dr Mahathir added that the country did not want to produce people without values as when they gained knowledge, they could turn out to be "edu• cated criminals." "With the increasing rate of white-collar crime, we must instil good values through education. "No matter how progressive a society is, it may not be able to sustain itself if such values are not part of education," he said. Dr Mahathir added that not all parents and the public knew what was good or bad for society. Thus, the belief that parents would naturally inculcate ALL IN ONE... chairman Musa briefs Dr Mahathir on Bandar Sunway. — STARpic by ABDULLAH SUBIR moral and ethical values in children was not true.
