The Sabah Public Works Department (PWD) became the first government agency this year to ratify a partnership commitment with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to forbid corruption in the agency.
The cooperation was very crucial to develop the quality and integrity of the department, hence creating consciousness on corruption among its staff.
Sabah MACC deputy director (Prevention) Hasbilah Mohamad Salleh said, "Besides that, this effort will ensure transparency in every working process, rules and procedures as well as in the planning and supervision of the procurement, tender or government contracts.
He said the cooperation given by the Sabah PWD was in line with the initiative proposed by state secretary Tan Sri Sukarti Wakiman in May 2015, who called for all the government agencies in the state to provide support and cooperation for anti-corruption efforts undertaken by the MACC.
