Negri anti-drugs agency director to be investigated for alleged misconduct


PUTRAJAYA: The National Anti-Drugs Agency will take swift action following allegations of misconduct involving its Negri Sembilan director, who allegedly ordered a daytime raid on a nightclub despite reports of criminal activity occurring at night.

National Anti-Drugs Agency director-general Datuk Ruslin Jusoh said strict action will be taken against any staff found guilty, in accordance with existing laws.

"National Anti-Drugs Agency does not tolerate misconduct or integrity breaches by its personnel," he said in a statement on Monday (May 19).

According to media reports, the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) has referred its recommendation for disciplinary action against the director to National Anti-Drugs Agency’s Disciplinary Authority.

The director was also alleged to have conducted the raid without the required approval from the Enforcement Division at National Anti-Drugs Agency headquarters.

Ruslin added that National Anti-Drugs Agency will continue working closely with EAIC to uphold good governance, especially in addressing integrity-related complaints.

He also reminded all staff to carry out their duties responsibly and with integrity, in full compliance with standard operating procedures (SOPs) and the Anti-Bribery Management System (ABMS). - Bernama
