KUALA LUMPUR: Eight Federal Government agencies have yet to return the balance of grants totalling RM83.67mil involving 67 programmes and development projects to the Finance Ministry, according to the second series of the Auditor-General’s Report 2018. The ministry was still owed the balance grants because it did not lay out the terms of use of the grants in detail in its grant distribution letters, the report said.
The eight agencies were the Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia (CIDB), Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM), Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (Matrade), Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO), the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM), Fisheries Development Authority of Malaysia (LKIM), Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (Mardi) and Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (Fama).
