NACP was launched by Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, attended by senior civil servants and ministers.

The plan includes 115 initiatives which the government hopes to implement within one to five years, in a bid to ensure a corruption-free nation through measures promoting good governance, accountability and transparency.
