TWO new laws in force by next year will allow company officers, auditors and even employees to blow the whistle on corrupt, dishonest and fraudulent corporate activities without fear of reprisal.
The new laws would establish whistle blowing as a “strategic tool” to prevent white collar crimes and improve the standards of corporate governance in Malaysia, Second Finance Minister Datuk Dr Jamaludin Jarjis said at the opening of the regional conference of the Malaysian Association of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (Maicsa) in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
