Kuala Lumpur, 23 December 2021 – To ensure its board members, heads of departments and management staff are kept abreast of the latest Corporate Liability Provision (CLP) developments and policies, the National Kidney Foundation of Malaysia (NKF Malaysia) recently organised two integrity seminars conducted by the Malaysian Institute of Integrity (IIM).
Held virtually, these seminars were meant to educate top management and managerial level staff on the latest anti-corruption policies in Malaysia. During the seminar, light was shed on the CLP or otherwise known as Section 17A of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act. Under this provision, organisations are liable and can be punished if found to be involved in corrupt practices.
“At NKF Malaysia, we take fundraising activities very seriously and we do not condone any money laundering activities. We have a zero-tolerance policy towards corrupt practices and we always strive to be as transparent as possible when it comes to handling donated funds. We want to assure our donors that we do not, in any way, misuse any of the kind donations sent our way and we will ensure all donations are put to good use,” said Dato Dr. Zaki Morad bin Mohamad Zaher, Chairman of NKF Malaysia.
He added that integrity seminars like these are timely and it is crucial for the NKF Malaysia team to go through this training to show integrity and ethics. “It is important that our team is well aware of the CLP and I hope that together we will be able to weed out corruption and bribery for the betterment of our organisation,” he said.
During the training session, the team was also taught to understand, appreciate and apply the importance of integrity and anti-corruption practises onto oneself, the organisation, society and country. The team also got a deeper understanding of the CLP and the implications of corrupt practices to the organisation.
The training also exposed the team to readily available tools and instruments that can help in preventing corruption from taking place within the organisation and lead NKF Malaysia towards good governance.
