THE government should incentivise civil servants who report corruption within their ranks, says Deputy Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Ramli Mohd Nor (pic).
He proposed that the government provide incentives to encourage whistleblowing in the public sector, arguing that it would be challenging for the government to uncover corruption without such information.
“Nothing can happen without information. It is those around us who commit crimes.
“Perhaps through administrative regulations or laws, we can reward civil servants who report on internal affairs, reward them with RM1,000 or RM2,000, but do it covertly,” he suggested to Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail yesterday in the Dewan Rakyat.
Earlier, Saifuddin Nasution said that in 2024, 26 officers were dismissed for integrity breaches related to immigration and border control. Additionally, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission handled 50 “phantom traveller” cases.
Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) recently encountered claims of syndicates potentially cooperating with enforcement officers to allow unauthorised travellers.
