Clean Values

We believe small honest choices, repeated daily, are our strongest defence against corruption.

What Are Clean Values?

Clean Values are the principles we live by every day. They reflect the spirit of Rukun Negara and Madani – belief in what is right, loyalty to our nation, respect for others, and doing our duty with integrity.

You can see Clean Values when someone:

  • Keeps a promise even when it is difficult
  • Says “no” to favours that feel wrong
  • Treats everyone fairly, regardless of background

Why Clean Values Matter

Corruption rarely begins with a big crime. It often starts with a small decision – a shortcut, a favour, a quiet compromise.

When we live by Clean Values:

  • We prevent corruption before it starts
  • We build trust at home, in school and at work
  • We protect opportunities for our children and grandchildren

Every honest choice is a small shield protecting Malaysia’s future.

  • How to Start with Clean Values

    Clean Values do not require a big campaign. They begin with small, personal commitments that we keep every day.

    You might start by:

    • Choosing one value to focus on this week—such as honesty or fairness
    • Reflecting before key decisions: “Is this the right thing to do, even if no one knows?”
    • Talking with family, friends or colleagues about what Clean Values mean to you
