KUALA LUMPUR: Graft busters are focusing on governance weaknesses in the management of electronic waste (e-waste) following the implementation of Ops Nature, an operation carried out simultaneously by its Selangor and Negri Sembilan branches. "In addition to investigating offences related to corruption, we are also examining governance aspects to identify root causes and systemic weaknesses that have contributed to ongoing e-waste management issues. He added that preliminary issues identified include weaknesses in monitoring mechanisms and follow-up enforcement related to e-waste management. "However, he stressed that these findings can only be confirmed upon the completion of a comprehensive governance investigation," he said. Azmi said the MACC does not rule out the possibility of similar issues occurring in other states, adding that governance investigations could be expanded nationwide if necessary.
