Bestinet says it practises zero-tolerance towards bribery after MACC probe

PETALING JAYA: IT solution provider Bestinet says it is confident that the company and its staff will be exonerated from any and all allegations.

In response to a recent report on the investigation of Bestinet employees by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), the company stated that it is not in the position to comment on ongoing investigations.

“Bestinet upholds very strict governance regarding business ethics and integrity and practises a zero-tolerance policy towards bribery and corruption in all its forms.

“As such, the company places high importance on accountability and transparency in the conduct of its business activity at all times and is fully committed to acting as a positive force in all markets it operates in,” it said in a statement.

On Wednesday (Aug 3), the MACC arrested eight people including a tech company chief executive officer for allegedly accepting bribes to help employers or agents get quotas for foreign workers.

Six were remanded for three days while two suspects, a male and a female, were released on bail after their statements were recorded.

Bestinet is an IT system provider that supplies the Foreign Workers Centralised Management System (FWCMS) in Malaysia.
