KUCHING: The state office of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry ( KPDNKK) is the latest among governmental organisations to sign the Malaysian AntiCorruption Commission (MACC)’s Corruption-Free Pledge ( IBR).
A total of 114 ministry personnel, led by KPDNKK Sarawak deputy director Abd Hafidz A Rahim, signed the pledge documents and later took part in the oath-taking ceremony here yesterday.
According to Abd Hafidz, the undertaking by KPDNKK Sarawak staff signifies their ongoing commitment in upholding high- standard administration and combating any form of corruption within the organisation.
Moreover, he assured all that KPDNKK Sarawak would always practise ‘zero tolerance’ on corruption and support MACC’s anti- corruption programmes.
“We will work closely with the MACC on measures to avoid misconduct and corruption within the department.”
Meanwhile, MACC Sarawak deputy director Zulhairy Zaidel who was also present at the ceremony, called upon all members of the civil service to always uphold their integrity while discharging their duties and most importantly, to always say no to corruption.
“Today’s ceremony can be seen as the manifestation of KPDNKK’s support and commitment in eradicating corruption.”
According to Zulhairy, the IBR is an initiative that emphasises voluntary integrity pledges made by heads of departments and their staff members, in their personal capacity.
In addition to the IBR oathtaking and signing ceremony, MACC Sarawak also conducted a membership-drive campaign for the ‘ Sahabat Gerakan Revolusi Anti-Rasuah’ (Gerah) yesterday.
