Anti-Corruption Policy
Last Updated: 1 June 2026
1. Our Stance Against Corruption
Walk Production is operated by WP Media Sdn Bhd, a company incorporated in Malaysia and trading as Walk Production for Dubai and UAE inquiries. The Company maintains a zero-tolerance stance toward bribery and corruption. We enforce strict disciplinary measures, including suspension or termination, for personnel who engage in corrupt practices, and we will report suspected violations to the relevant authorities.
2. Legal Framework
The Company’s controlling entity is incorporated in Malaysia and is subject to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 (MACC Act 2009). A person convicted of a corruption offense under the MACC Act may be liable to imprisonment of up to 20 years and a fine of at least five times the sum or value of the gratification or RM10,000, whichever is higher. A commercial organization convicted under Section 17A is liable to a fine of at least ten times the sum or value of the gratification or RM1,000,000, whichever is higher, or imprisonment of up to 20 years, or both.
Walk Production conducts its business in compliance with the applicable anti-corruption laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. These include Malaysia’s MACC Act 2009 and, for our operations and engagements in the UAE, the bribery and corruption offenses set out in UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 31 of 2021 issuing the Crimes and Penalties Law.

5. Common Corruption Risk Areas
Gifts and Hospitality
The Company maintains a strict “no gift” policy. Limited exceptions include:

- Token gifts bearing company branding
Any other gift or hospitality expenditure requires approval from senior management.
Events and Entertainment
Personnel may participate in business events where there is a legitimate business reason, the costs are reasonable, and the employee has notified their supervisor. Expensive arrangements require management approval. The Company does not fund third-party travel or accommodation for business events, and vice versa, except under special circumstances and with written management approval.
Facilitation Payments and Kickbacks
Facilitation payments and kickbacks are strictly prohibited. The only exception is a payment made under duress to prevent injury or loss of liberty, which must be reported to management immediately.
Sponsorship and Donation
All sponsorships and donations require management approval and must not provide an unfair business advantage or serve political purposes.
Purchasing and Procurement
All purchasing decisions must serve the Company’s best interests and be properly documented, specifying deliverables, payment basis, rates, and delivery timelines.
6. Conducting Due Diligence
Prior to engaging third parties, personnel must conduct due diligence reviewing:
- Background and corruption investigation history
- Government or political affiliations
- Country-of-origin risk status
- Suspicious payment patterns or structures
Any irregularities must be escalated to management immediately.
7. Reporting and Whistleblowing
Personnel and third parties are encouraged to report suspected corruption. Reports may be made to the Company, and suspected offenses may be reported directly to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) at www.sprm.gov.my or to the relevant UAE authorities where the suspected conduct involves UAE-based activities.
