Integrity & Governance

KONGSI KEPADA

MGTC and our subsidiaries have adopted a zero-tolerance approach towards all forms of bribery and corruption. We are committed towards ensuring our anti-bribery and anti-corruption programmes are relevant, effective and efficient to combat such illegal activities. We uphold our core values of Gratitude, Responsible, Ethical, Excellence and Nurture in this regard, to which our Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption (“ABAC”) Policy sets out to elaborate upon.

MGTC’s ABAC Policy serves as a guide to our staff, including the Board of Directors to establish a corporate culture of zero tolerance to all forms of bribery and corruption and to minimise corruption risk and avoid potential bribery and corrupt practices when dealing with our clients and business associates that may arise throughout their course of employment in MGTC.

We are guided by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 (“MACC Act”), MACC (Amendment) Act 2018, and the Prime Minister’s Directive in respect of Integrity & Governance, along with any relevant laws, regulations and guidelines with regards to anti-bribery and anti-corruption in Malaysia.

MGTC does not solicit gifts, entertainment, or favors of any value from persons or firms with which MGTC actually or potentially does business. Any person purported to do anything or actions against this policy shall be deemed to be acting contrary to the company’s policy and without the company’s consent and authority and shall be assumed full personal responsibility.

However, there are certain exceptions to the general rule whereby the receiving and provision of gifts are permitted that are customary business courtesies and the value per item shall not be more than the threshold as set out in the MGTC’s Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption.

  • The policy protects the whistle-blower who lodged a report or complaint, provided the report is made in good faith.
  • Any person that has made report in good faith is protected against adverse employment actions which will affect his or her livelihood (e.g. discharge, demotion, suspension, harassment or other forms of discrimination) for reporting improper conduct.
  • He or she is protected even if the report made proved to be incorrect or unsubstantiated.


ASSURANCE OF CONFIDENTIALITY

All reports and identity of the whistle-blower will be treated as strictly confidential and identity of the whistle-blower will at all times be protected and anonymous. A report will only be disclosed to those who are authorised to carry out an investigation into matters relating to the report. MGTC is committed to provide the whistle-blower protections as outlined under the Whistleblower Protection Act 2010.

If a whistleblower believes that he or she is being subjected to discrimination, retaliation, or harassment for having made a report under this Policy, he or she should immediately report those facts to MGTC’s Board Audit & Integrity Committee (BAIC) Chairperson. Reporting should be done promptly to facilitate investigation and the taking of appropriate action.

WHISTLE-BLOWER PROTECTION IS REVOKED, IF YOU:

  • Involved in the misconduct
  • Made false report and believed it is not true
  • Made frivolous or vexatious report
  • Questioning the merits of government policy, including policy of a public body
  • Made report solely or substantially with the motive of avoiding dismissal or other disciplinary action
  • Commits an offence under the Whistleblowing Protection Act 2010
