KUALA LUMPUR: The Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) has expressed its support for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim during his mandate session with heads of enforcement agencies.
EAIC chairman Tan Sri Dr Ismail Bakar said the Prime Minister’s remarks were in line with the commission’s ongoing monitoring and investigations into misconduct, including abuse of power and weaknesses in the public service integrity governance ecosystem, particularly within enforcement agencies.
“Recommendations for disciplinary action put forward by the EAIC, including proposals to improve internal systems and procedural mechanisms, must be given due attention and fully complied with.
“We will also resubmit disciplinary cases that have not been acted upon or remain pending to the relevant Disciplinary Authorities and escalate them to the respective heads of service for immediate action,” he said in a statement on Thursday (Jan 29).
He added that firm action and strict compliance by department heads were crucial to strengthening enforcement integrity and restoring public confidence in national institutions.
Smuggling, corruption, and other illicit activities not only undermine the credibility of enforcement agencies but also betray the interests of the people and the nation.
“Such acts must not be tolerated or normalised under any circumstances,” he added.
