Civil servants are always being monitored by various agencies, including the National Audit Department, to ensure no leakage and corruption occur while they carry out their duties, said Congress of Unions of Employees in the Public and Civil Services (Cuepacs) president Adnan Mat.
Apart from that, civil servants are also monitored by their respective heads of department as well as having to comply with stipulated guidelines.
“We have the National Audit Department which produces annual reports and the respective departments will take action based on its findings.
“So, there’s no issue with regard to leakage because early action has already been taken… perhaps what the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) head (Azam Baki) meant was that some issues and complaints they received could be due to dissatisfaction of certain parties,” Adnan (above) said today.
He told reporters this when met at the opening ceremony of the 22nd general meeting of the Peninsular Malaysia Fire and Rescue Department Employees Union (Negeri Sembilan branch) that was launched by Negeri Sembilan Fire and Rescue Department director Hamdan Ali.
Azam was reported as saying that corruption cases involving leakages in government procurements by civil servants were getting critical, with nearly 50 percent of such cases involving government agencies.
In another development, Adnan hoped that the case involving the death of firefighter Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim could be resolved soon.
“Cuepacs is always monitoring the latest development regarding the case. At the same time, we hope the issue will not be politicised,” he said.
Muhammad Adib, 24, who was a member of the Emergency Medical Rescue Services unit from the Subang Jaya Fire and Rescue Station, sustained serious injuries during a commotion at the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple in USJ 25, Subang Jaya on Nov 27, 2018. He died on Dec 17, after 21 days in the National Heart Institute.
On Sept 27 last year, the Shah Alam Coroner's Court ruled that the firefighter's death was the result of a crime committed by two or more unknown persons.
