PUTRAJAYA, June 21 — Inland Revenue Board (IRB) officials today took an anti-corruption oath (IBR) and signed a pledge towards strengthening their integrity and supporting the government’s aspiration in combating corruption.
In a statement today, the IRB said the ceremony was led by the Treasury secretary-general cum IRB board chairman Datuk Johan Mahmood Merican, accountant-general Nor Yati Ahmad, IRB chief executive officer Datuk Dr Abu Tariq Jamaluddin and IRB’s private consultant Datuk Noor Azian Abdul Hamid.
Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Tan Sri Azam Baki witnessed the ceremony.
“As an agency certified by the Anti-Bribery Management System since 2022, the IBR implementation is expected to serve as an anti-corruption measure for organisational leadership to be more accountable in carrying out duties and to prevent any misconduct and abuse of power,” read the statement.
Meanwhile, Azam was quoted as saying IRB was the first statutory body to implement the IBR in 2017 and to have its board members sign the pledge.
Azam also hoped the IRB-MACC cooperation will continue to enhance revenue collection, drive economic development and strengthen anti-corruption measures.
