“…She also mentioned that 'ASEAN has to.. embark on further liberalisation, rationalisation, and integration to seize the opportunities and successfully meet the economic challenges of the 21 st century' [8]. Haw and Ling [12] examined the relationship between economic growth and corruption of the ASEAN countries. Their findings implied that the countries were vulnerable to variations as it took a long time to adjust to long-run equilibriums, especially on inflation, trade openness, and economic growth.…”

Regional Economic Integration is considered the most powerful method of ensuring productivity and attaining economic prosperity. ASEAN Economic Community established to achieve one vision, one identity, and one community is one of Asia's most promising regional economic integration. It aims to emerge as a leading integrated economy in the world. To establish this community, ASEAN adopted Blueprint-2015 in 2007; after implementing the community, it enhanced this blueprint and adopted Blueprint-2025 in 2015. The Blueprint-2025 mentioned five characteristics as the target for ASEAN Economic Community to be undertaken for 2016-2025. Besides, the blueprint also mentioned some significant elements associated with the characteristics. This study focused on the empirical analysis of these characteristics of Blueprint-2025. Therefore, this work used the data of the ten ASEAN countries from 2010 to 2019 by selecting some indicators representing the elements of these characteristics. The finding of this analysis suggested that a large number of the indicators have experienced a decent level of progress, whereas only a few failed to achieve the expected trend.

“…Pervasive corruption in ASEAN countries is believed to be able to prevent sustainable economic growth and development at the national or regional level. Several survey reports in ASEAN countries have shown that corruption is widely recognized in the public environment, public administration and business environment (Haw, Kueh and Ling, 2020). ASEAN countries jointly established the ASEAN Parties against Corruption (ASEAN-PAC) to coordinate the implementation of the solutions to control corruption and to mote soundness and transparency in the economy.…”

This paper aims to analyze the nonlinear impact of control of corruption on economic growth in ASEAN countries -the emerging, frontier, and developping fastest-growing economies in Asia. The authors used a combination of threshold effects and system -GMM (Generalized Method of Moments) method for panel data in the period 2002 to 2019 to achieve reliable estimation results. The estimation results show that there is a threshold value of control of corruption of 48.08. This indicates that economic growth is impacted nonlinearly by control of corruption, and this impact is mainly positive in the regions before and after the threshold value. However, when control of corruption surpasses 48.08, the positive impact of control of corruption on economic growth decreases significantly. Accordingly, excessive control of corruption can reduce the effectiveness of economic growth in ASEAN countries. Therefore, ASEAN countries need to combine control of corruption with many other policies, especially policies on improving the effectiveness of resource allocation in the economy to boost economic growth sustainably.

“…Over the years, researches has been done to find solutions to curb corruption (e.g. Haw et al, 2020;Kasim & Hoesni, 2021). Besides that, the government also allocated funding for the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) as the sole agency to fight corruption, a national anticorruption plan, two government transformation programmes and national integrity plan (Muhamad & Gani, 2020).…”

Anti-corruption education is important in curbing corruption behavior. However, there is limited evidence about what should be designed into the anti-corruption curriculum for young people. Hence, this study intends to make suggestions about the development of anticorruption education in Malaysia based on Theory of Social Representation. A survey to explore young people's lay representation toward corruption was carried out. 232 respondents between 18 to 33 years old (M=19.79, SD=2.65) participated in this crosssectional survey performed in Malays Language and translated into English for report purposes. The lay representation of the terms "corruption" was obtained using the free association and the rank-frequency technique. The result suggests five important considerations for the development of anti-corruption education: (1) educate people about the concept of corruption that includes not only money exchange; (2) continue to provide examples of integrity and legal practices in politics; (3) educate people about all types of corruption, (4) emphasize that corruption is not acceptable regardless of any situation or circumstances and ( 5) educate people about the effects of corruption. This suggestion could be used by the government, stakeholders, schools, and non-profit organizations who are interested in educating the public or creating anti-corruption awareness among young people in Malaysia.
