  "account": "Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim emphasized the need for improved public service governance and integrity to counteract the leakage of public funds and misuse of authority, particularly within Federal Statutory Bodies. This concern was among the topics discussed during the Special Cabinet Committee on National Governance (JKKTN) meeting that Anwar chaired yesterday. The meeting underscored the importance of fostering integrity and good governance in both the public and private sectors, as well as in society at large. Furthermore, the committee resolved to conduct a legal study to develop policies, governance strategies, and regulations for the Charities Bill, ensuring the transparent and responsible management of entrusted funds.\n\nThe meeting also agreed to implement the Cultivation of Public Service Values policy and the Statutory Bodies and Controlled Entities (Financial Governance) Bill, both of which aim to enhance discipline and accountability in financial management. Anwar announced that the Madani Government will persist in strengthening public service integrity and closing any avenues for leakages and abuse of power. He stressed that every ringgit of public money is a trust from the people that must be safeguarded, and every granted power must be utilized to ensure their wellbeing.",
