MARA

MARA refers to multiple contexts, but one significant definition is related to an acronym for the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency. This agency is responsible for preventing and combating corruption in Malaysia through investigations, enforcement, and public education. Another context in literature and mythology describes Mara as a figure representing temptation or the embodiment of desire and distraction, often associated with Buddhist teachings where Mara tempts individuals away from enlightenment. Therefore, depending on the context, MARA may signify either the anti-corruption agency in Malaysia or a mythological figure representing obstacles to spiritual progress.
