This research found that the staff of the witness protection of public sector anti- corruption unit's attitude considered that the witness protection is extramely important and necessary due to the fact that they are a high-risk group.

Accourding to the problems and constraints from applying the withness protection of public sector anti-corruption unit  measures, the number of staff and budget from the Office of Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) was not sufficient and there was inadequate equipment to protect the witness as well as lack of witness protection measures disseminated.
