No compromise on governance, integrity across ministry - Mohamad Sabu

PUTRAJAYA: The Agriculture and Food Security Ministry will not compromise on management weaknesses or non-compliance that could impact public interest. Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu emphasized the ministry's commitment to enhancing oversight of governance, integrity, and financial management across its agencies and subsidiaries.

He stated that every organization under the ministry must operate transparently, with integrity, and in strict adherence to established rules and procedures. Any management issues, non-compliance, or matters affecting public interest must be promptly identified and addressed, according to Sabu. The ministry must ensure responsible and accountable decision-making, procurement, and utilization of public funds, safeguarding public trust and managing every ringgit of public money effectively.

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission is reportedly conducting a thorough investigation into delayed fertilizer supplies to some paddy farmers in Kedah. MACC chief commissioner, Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman, has instructed investigators to examine all individuals involved in the policy, tender, and implementation processes comprehensively.
