Rompin MP proposes parliamentary task force to investigate corporate misconduct
KUALA LUMPUR: Rompin member of parliament (MP) Datuk Abdul Khalib Abdullah has proposed setting up a multi-agency special task force that reports directly to parliament to investigate high-profile corporate misconduct.
KUALA LUMPUR: Rompin's Member of Parliament, Datuk Abdul Khalib Abdullah, has suggested creating a special multi-agency task force directly responsible to parliament to investigate high-profile corporate misconduct. This proposal arises from mounting worries about increasingly complex financial crimes, such as alleged large-scale money laundering groups and corporate mafia organizations suspected of manipulating corporate acquisitions and the domestic stock market.
Abdul Khalib contends that these crimes jeopardize the capital market's integrity and investor trust in Malaysia's banking sector. In response, he proposed establishing a dedicated multi-agency special task force to investigate significant corporate misconduct transparently and responsibly, with the task force reporting directly to parliament.
He made this proposal while discussing the Supply Bill 2027 at the committee stage in the Dewan Rakyat on today. During his address, Abdul Khalib also urged the Finance Ministry, Bank Negara Malaysia, and the Securities Commission Malaysia to take prompt action to uncover and dismantle the alleged corporate mafia networks.
