PAC wants judiciary to develop own bail payment system
The recommendation follows PAC’s finding that RM193.7 million in bail deposits was held by the account of e-Jamin's operator, which had no formal government contract for five years.
The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has called on the judiciary to develop its own online bail payment system to ensure full government ownership of the data. This recommendation stems from PAC's finding that e-Jamin, operated by Dapat Vista (M) Sdn Bhd, ran for five years without a formal government contract, leading to financial non-compliance.
The PAC also discovered that bail money collected through e-Jamin was deposited into Dapat Vista's commercial account, rather than the Consolidated Trust Account, breaching Article 97(1) of the Federal Constitution and Section 7 of the Financial Procedure Act 1957.
