THIRTEEN companies under Mentri Besar Selangor Incorporated have completed their Organisational Anti-Corruption Plans (OACP) aimed at strengthening governance practices and mitigating corruption risks across the group.
MBI Selangor group chief executive officer Datuk Saipolyazan M. Yusop said the OACP initiative began with five companies in 2023, followed by six more in 2024.
Recently two entities, Yayasan Warisan Anak Selangor and Yayasan Hijrah Selangor, have completed their plans.
Saipolyazan urged other group subsidiaries that had yet to develop their own OACPs to do so.
“The Integrity and Governance Unit under MBI Selangor will assist, from planning the corruption risk management process until a company is ready to launch its own OACP,” he said at MBI Selangor Group Integrity Day 2025 in Klang, according to a Bernama report.
Also present was State Secretary Datuk Dr Ahmad Fadzli Ahmad Tajuddin, who is also an MBI Selangor board director.
Saipolyazan said the group’s win in the Corporate Governance and Ethics category at ESG Plus Awards 2025 showed that MBI Selangor was on the right path towards strengthening governance, instilling a culture of integrity and building external confidence.
“More importantly, when faced with allegations related to integrity and corruption, this recognition serves as evidence that our governance is in order and that preventive measures are in place.”
Saipolyazan added that the group was also working with Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to streamline procedures and policies.
Ahmad Fadzli said the OACP must be implemented with genuine commitment and not merely to comply with instructions, as corruption that was not systematically addressed would lead to higher costs, revenue losses and declining service quality.
This, in turn, could negatively affect the state’s economy due to a loss of investor confidence, he said.
“What we seek is the true objective of the OACP, which is to address weak governance and effectively uphold integrity and anti-corruption within organisations,” he added.
Separately in Shah Alam, Selangor investment, trade and mobility committee chairman Ng Sze Han said the OACP initiative was aimed at attracting high-quality and high-impact investments into the state.
He said the plan had a direct impact on high-technology sectors, particularly the semiconductor industry, through development of the Selangor IC (integrated circuit) Design Park, while supporting Selangor’s aspiration to become a regional aerospace hub.
Ng said strengthening the OACP also aligned with environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards, creating opportunities for strategic collaborations and attracting Global Business Services companies to facilitate cross-border trade.
He said implementation of the OACP sent a clear economic signal to global markets that Selangor prioritised transparency and institutional integrity.
Ng said the plan was an assurance that Selangor’s business ecosystem was free from corruption, reassuring major technology companies on data security, operational safety and intellectual property protection.
From an economic efficiency perspective, he said stronger integrity practices could reduce bureaucracy and curb hidden costs in project implementation.
He added that such efficiency was crucial for the mobility and logistics sectors to ensure smooth supply chains, timely project delivery and better cost control.
Meanwhile, Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) SME Development and Entrepreneurship coordinator Dr Mohamad Idham Md Razak said initiatives such as the OACP would enhance Selangor’s competitiveness in attracting high-value and long-term investments.
