###### Chairman's Reflections
Internally, we meticulously integrate the principles outlined in Section 17A of the MACC Act 2009, imposing liability on corporations for corrupt practices by their employees across our entire Group. Our initiatives encompass a range of actions and activities, including talks and workshops conducted in collaboration with officials from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for our Board of Directors, Management Team, and employees. To enhance awareness and promote compliance, we have developed an interactive video and infographics for reference and training purposes.
Furthermore, our induction programme for new employees spans a comprehensive day, focusing specifically on ethics and integrity. Concurrently, we execute an extensive awareness campaign on our Anti-Bribery Management System (ABMS) to reinforce a culture of integrity. This campaign includes an annual survey designed to evaluate the effectiveness of our anti-corruption measures. In addition, we adhere strictly to the guidelines of the adequate procedure as required under the Section 17A provision, ensuring full compliance with legal requirements and ethical standards.
Since establishing the Integrity and Governance Department in 2017, PROLINTAS has led the way in developing comprehensive policies that exceed industry standards. Aligned with the National Anti-Corruption Plan 2019-2023, we actively promote good governance, ethics, and anti-corruption practices in collaboration with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). Our partnership with MACC includes contributing to the Integrity and Governance Unit (IGU) latest Core Functions and Implementation Procedures for all Government Interest Companies (GIC). Recognised by the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Agency, PROLINTAS is among the select few construction companies that have successfully reduced the corruption risk rating from High to Moderate, demonstrating our commitment to ethical business practices.
We consider integrity as a collective endeavour, and through strategic partnerships and active participation in anti-corruption initiatives, we aim to foster a culture of integrity and ethical behaviour within our organisation and society as a whole. This commitment underscores our dedication to excellence and the advancement of Malaysian society.
