Malaysians may say they hate corruption but their actions indicate otherwise, a graftbuster says.

There are also concerns that the people may not hate corrupt individuals, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's (MACC) community education director Abdul Samat Kasah said.

Speaking on the MACC's online radio channel, Samat told about a seminar he gave, where members of the audience told him they would try to bribe their way out of trouble should they be stopped for a traffic offence.
