Corrupt contractors, civil servants work in ‘cartels’, says MACC

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has revealed that corrupt contractors and civil servants work in “cartels” to embezzle money from government projects.

Its senior director of the special operations division Tan Kang Sai said recent raids in Selangor found that the officers involved received kickbacks based on the value of the projects.

He said the cases involved senior and junior officers, including presidents of two local councils, the police and other departments.

Applauding the stand of the unity government against corruption and to uphold good governance, Tan said this should serve as a reminder and warning for all civil servants to maintain their integrity and carry out their duties responsibly.
