MOT to take immediate action on MACC report - Loke

The Transport Ministry is in the process of taking immediate action on the MACC report on misconduct involving staff of an agency under the ministry.

Its minister Anthony Loke said MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki met him on Tuesday to discuss disciplinary cases which have not been resolved at his ministry.

As a result of the meeting, he instructed his ministry’s secretary-general, Jana Santhiran Muniayan, to ensure every disciplinary case is acted upon immediately and to report back to MACC.

When asked about the number of pending disciplinary cases, Loke said it was an internal matter, and there were also cases which had been resolved but had not been reported to the MACC.

“The important thing is that we take action on whatever MACC recommends.

“That is my commitment to the MACC chief commissioner, that Transport Ministry will cooperate fully. Cases where disciplinary action has not been taken, will be followed up promptly,” Loke said.

He said this at a press conference after chairing the Technical Committee on Traffic Congestion meeting in Putrajaya today.

It was reported earlier that Azam had disclosed that some government agencies ignored more than 500 reports of misconduct involving their staff, even though MACC had recommended action be taken, including the Road Transport Department and the Royal Malaysia Police.
