Kuala lumpur: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) will conduct a thorough review of the Auditor-General's Report (LKAN) Series 2/2025 to identify governance weaknesses and potential misconduct involving government agencies and government-linked companies (GLCs).

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the MACC stated that the review will include follow-up actions on any issues suspected of involving criminal offenses under the MACC Act 2009 (Act 694), and will not be limited to governance lapses alone. The commission expressed its support for the Auditor-General's disclosures and intends to address any governance weaknesses and potential misconduct highlighted in the report.

The MACC plans to collaborate closely with the National Audit Department to gather relevant information and supporting documents to facilitate swift investigations and necessary actions. The commission reaffirmed its commitment to tackling abuse of power, misappropriation, and corruption in a transparent manner, aiming to uphold the highest standards of governance and restore public trust in public institutions.

The LKAN 2/2025, which was presented in the Dewan Rakyat, uncovered significant irregularities in three audits, involving over RM460 million. Auditor-General Datuk Seri Wan Suraya Wan Mohd Radzi identified one case involving FELCRA Bhd, which showed governance weaknesses in the lease procurement of four oil palm estates worth RM241.76 million between 2022 and 2024. Additionally, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia was found to have serious procurement irregularities involving three tenders worth RM58.45 million.

Further irregularities included uncollected late penalty charges amounting to RM162.75 million and yet-to-be-imposed late penalty charges of RM1.42 million for the GEMPITA supply contract.
