On November 17 & 20, 2025, under the guidance of Seah Wei Wei, Senior Lecturer at City University of Macau's Faculty of Business, third-year students participated in a meaningful visit to the Integrity Tour Classroom Programme of the Macau Independent Commission Against Corruption (CCAC). This event, themed "Integrity Experience Programme for Youth," was designed to enhance students' understanding of integrity work and its critical role in society.
The event commenced with an informative lecture delivered by Ms. Jillian Chang, a representative from the Community Promotion and Public Relations Division of the CCAC. Ms. Chang shared various practical cases that highlighted real-world challenges related to corruption, emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability in preventing bribery. After the lecture, students had the opportunity to tour the Integrity Education Base, where they learned about the historical development of the Macau CCAC, visited a simulated identification room, and examined different case studies that illustrated the implications of corruption.
The discussion underscored that bribery in the private sector not only undermines fair market competition but also significantly erodes social trust and integrity. The government is actively promoting relevant legislation and policies to establish a fairer and more transparent business environment, reflecting a commitment to integrity at all levels.
Throughout the visit, students exhibited a high level of engagement, showing great interest in the topics discussed. They actively asked questions and interacted with the speakers, demonstrating their concern and thoughtful consideration regarding integrity issues. Their enthusiastic participation indicated a strong desire to understand the importance of maintaining ethical standards in their future careers.
This event is part of a broader collaboration between City University of Macau and the Macau CCAC, aimed at promoting the construction of the rule of law and social development through academic exchange and social dialogue. The lecture and activities were specifically designed for university students and focused on the law concerning "Preventing and Combating Bribery in the Private Sector." This initiative serves to remind students to remain vigilant and uphold integrity in their future workplaces, ensuring they are prepared to navigate ethical challenges effectively.
