MALAYSIA and Brunei have agreed to strengthen their 20-year cooperation involving the anti-corruption agencies of the two nations to combat cross-border corruption.

Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief commissioner Datuk Abu Kassim Mohamed said, most of the criminal elements involving local and international syndicates bribed the Malaysian-Brunei authorities.

"The cooperation is important so that cross-border crimes can be curbed, and we could ensure government officers at the borders displayed high integrity," he said.
