Six Sarawak agencies selected for anti-bribery system pilot project
KUCHING - Six Sarawak government agencies will be involved in the MS ISO 37001: 2016 Anti-Bribery Management System (ABMS) pilot project starting this year, announced State Secretary Datuk Amar Jaul Samion today.
He said the Sarawak Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Ministry, Chief Minister's Department, Forest Department, Islamic Religious Department, Sarawak Forestry Corporation (SFC), and Regional Corridor Development Authority (RECODA) have been selected for the anti-bribery management project.
"The regulations provided are not only to be complied with but also to curb impropriety such as bribery, abuse of power and malpractice as well as leakage, from occurring,” he said at the launch of the project, here.
According to him, ABMS is an internal control system of an organisation to detect, prevent, operate, enforce, evaluate and improve anti-bribery management effectively.
He added that the anti-bribery actions to be taken by this pilot project will serve as a benchmark and reference for other ministries, departments, and agencies to implement similar initiatives to act more proactively in developing more quality and transparent regulations. - BERNAMA
