BANGI (Jan 23): The Madani government has given full latitude to authorities to combat corruption and abuse of power, including activities related to the illegal importation of electronic waste (e-waste) into the country. “Based on our experience with contracts and tenders, despite strong pressure and continuous reminders, we still observe weaknesses and inconsistencies. “The decision by the Cabinet is to completely prohibit Malaysia from becoming a dumping ground for e-waste. “Their task is to clean up the remaining traces of corruption and abuse of power,” he said. He said the government, through the relevant ministries, would review and restructure all procurement processes to ensure transparency within the existing system.
