Selangor MACC ready to meet Azmin on IBR

SHAH ALAM: The Malaysian Anti- Corruption Commission ( MACC) is prepared to meet Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali at anytime to discuss the Corruption-Free Pledge ( IBR) which has yet to be signed by the state government.

Selangor MACC director, Datuk Alias Salim said the commission was ready to hold a meeting to ensure civil servants in the state are with MACC in preventing graft.

“The meeting is to explain the roles of IBR in preventing corruption in Selangor, but no date has been set.

“… and it is hope from the meeting, the Selangor state government will sign the pledge,” he told reporters after witnessing the pledge by employees of Selangor Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority ( Fama) here today led by its director Datuk Ghariff Ramin.

At the ceremony, MACC also received 125 participation forms to join Friends of Anti- Corruption Revolution Movement ( Gerah) from Fama Selangor.

Alias was commenting on a press report that said Mohamed Azmin would be having a meeting with him to explain the stand of the state government on IBR.

MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Dzulkifli Ahmad was yesterday reported as saying that all state governments except Selangor had signed the IBR. At the ceremony, Alias said 105 government departments and agencies in Selangor had signed the pledge.

“About 50 more government agencies here are in the process of discussion and I am targeting all agencies to sign the IBR by year end,” he said. — Bernama
