  "account": "The Armed Forces Fund Board (LTAT) has unveiled a comprehensive five-year plan, known as SETIA 2026-2030, aimed at combating corruption and bolstering good governance practices. This initiative directly follows the successful completion of all 30 projects under the previous Organisational Anti-Corruption Plan (OACP) from 2022 to 2026, resulting in a perfect 100% achievement rate. SETIA represents the next critical step in LTAT's ongoing mission to maintain institutional integrity, improve accountability, and promote ethical conduct across all facets of its operations and investment choices.\n\nLTAT Chairman, Gen (Rtd) Tan Sri Azizan Ariffin, along with LTAT CEO Datuk Mohammad Ashraf Md Radzi, Deputy Secretary-General Datuk Shahrazat Ahmad, and Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Community Education Division director Datuk Hairuzam Mohmad Amin @ Hamim, participated in the launch event. This ceremony coincided with the 2026 International Anti-Corruption Day and was held to underscore LTAT's commitment to safeguarding the retirement savings of Malaysian Armed Forces personnel.\n\nThe SETIA plan is structured around five strategic pillars and incorporates 25 targeted initiatives. These initiatives are meticulously crafted to reinforce corruption risk management, improve transparency, and enhance accountability within LTAT. Datuk Mohammad Ashraf, in his keynote address, emphasized that all investment decisions, expenditures, and management actions must be firmly grounded in principles of integrity, accountability, and professionalism. He highlighted the trust placed in LTAT by the MAF personnel, acknowledging it as a significant responsibility to protect their interests and future. Ashraf also acknowledged past challenges that had impacted public confidence in LTAT's governance but stressed that LTAT remains steadfast in its commitment to prevent any misconduct, abuse of power, or breach of ethical standards.",
