Pasukan khas tangani ketirisan hasil pelabuhan masih dibincang
SPRM dan JKDM belum mencapai persetujuan mengenai bentuk kerjasama serta pelaksanaan pasukan itu.
The specific task force to address the issue of state-owned revenue leakage at ports is still under discussion between the Anti-Corruption Watch Malaysia (SPRM) and the Malaysia Customs Department (JKDM), according to recent reports. Details of the cooperation between the two agencies are yet to be announced after agreement is reached.
"This matter is still under discussion between the two agencies," a statement from the Senior Advisor to the Inspector-General of SPRM, Abd Halim Aman, quoted on July 15. He confirmed that the proposal to establish such a task force was discussed with his colleagues from JKDM, Amran Ahmad. They also addressed specific challenges related to customs inspections, in addition to addressing bureaucratic hurdles and domestic issues that JKDM faces.
Amran further shared information about syndicate tactics to avoid payment of taxes, including smuggling activities and falsification of information or documents to obtain different tax categories. This development follows concerns raised by industry players about management issues at ports, primarily due to disagreements over the balance between cargo volume and physical movement of petroleum cargoes.
