KUALA LUMPUR – Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook is expected to meet Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki on Tuesday to exchange notes relating to misconduct reports involving a department under his ministry.
Loke said that he has received (internal) reports on the case which have been solved, however he acknowledged that there are outstanding cases.
“I will meet him (Azam) on issues that he wants to raise up and I would appreciate it if he could give more information,” he said on the sidelines of the third Maritime Law and Business Conference 2023 today.
When asked about the cases, he said most of the cases involved the Road Transport Department and there were cases resolved via disciplinary actions.
The two-day conference was organised by the International Malaysian Society of Maritime Law (IMSML).
Loke also said that he would get Azam’s views on misconduct issues in the minister’s office and how to reduce the risk of being exposed to issues involving integrity.
Earlier, Azam said that a total of 553 misconduct reports, some of which were submitted 12 years ago, have yet to be taken action by department heads, with 125 reports involving the police, followed by the Road Transport Department. – Bernama, May 12, 2023
