The implementation of the Government Transformation Program (GTP) 2.0 through the National Key Result Areas (NKRA) on Corruption is one of the government's priorities. However, the performance and integrity of civil servants in Malaysia are still at a problematic level. Issues such as corruption and inefficiency in public service delivery are becoming increasingly serious. Therefore, the question is whether the concept of integrity for existing civil servants is fully effective? What is the concept of integrity that is practiced? Therefore, it becomes a necessity to study this concept of integrity of conventional civil servants. For Muslims and Muslim countries, the model is seen as better if it is sourced and based on true Islam as Malaysia will make the prevention of corruption and integrity as a subject in schools and institutions of higher learning (IPT). Therefore, three objectives were set for this study namely to identify the concept of conventional integrity for civil servants; and analyse the conventional concept of integrity for civil servants based on the Quran and Sunnah. The design of this qualitative study is exploratory research. This study also uses library research methods for data collection. Data were analysed using content analysis method. The results of this study found that the concept of conventional integrity is not very broad compared to the concept of Islamic integrity. This is because, it does not cover the external and internal aspects of human beings. This discussion of the concept of integrity in Islam is more similar to the application of Islamic morality. Unlike the conventional, it does not cover the external and internal elements. The question of morality is not raised as well as different goals and sources
