KUANTAN - The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) views seriously reports of corrupt practices and misconduct involving members of the Village Development and Security Committee (JPKK).

MACC Community Education Division director Datuk Razim Mohd Nor said this was to ensure that the village institution was always protected and free from corruption, especially involving the interests of the local community.

"According to data and statistics, there were information and complaints received regarding corruption and abuse of power involving JPKK chairman or village heads,” he said in his speech at the Anti-corruption & Governance of Government Funds Programme here today.

Razim said in Pahang alone, MACC has received 21 reports regarding misconduct among JPKK members since 2018.

Of the total, one case had been prosecuted in court, two cases were being investigated, five received a letter to rectify the weaknesses of JPKK procedures, and 13 cases were classified as no further action, he added.

Commenting on the programme attended by over 200 participants from Kuantan, Maran, Rompin and Pekan, Razim said it aimed to provide knowledge and awareness about the MACC’s functions, corruption offences and JPKK’s responsibility in dealing with local corruption issues.

He said JPKK is the last bastion that will ensure there is no leakage of allocations provided by the government for physical, welfare and social development. - BERNAMA
