Whistleblowing does not only refer to the act of a whistleblower who informs, reports or discloses on someone or the organisation is conducting or going to conduct any illicit activity which may harm the interests of stakeholders. Meanwhile, it has also emerged in its mainstream functions and the essential roles in leading today‘s modern corporations to enforce effective whistleblowing policy within their compounds of governance. The world‘s famous corporate governance cases such as Enron and Worldcom have attracted the spotlight of corporate citizens to the issue of poor yet ineffective sound governance practices in corporation operations. Because of these, the impetus of enforcing and practising sound governance practices by the world national bodies, government agencies, and business community has been triggered.

One of the significant practices that must be highlighted in promoting sound governance in a corporation‘s operations will absolutely be the whistleblowing act and this act is definitely welcomed and encouraged in the workplace. In the embrace of corporate governance, myriad concepts, principles, legislative acts, codes as well as good practices have been incorporated and served as a great benchmark for modern corporations in applying them into their actual governance practices.
