Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Datuk Seri Abu Kassim Mohamed (pic) will head a new committee to review its existing standard operating procedures (SOP).
The executive transformation committee, which takes effect immediately, was formed following the release of the report into the death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock by the Royal Commission of Inquiry.
“MACC views seriously and accepts openly the recommendations suggested in the report,” the commission said in a statement here yesterday.
This move is in addition to the internal probe led by MACC deputy chief (management and professionalism) Datuk Zakaria Jaafar.
“The executive transformation committee will look into improving MACC’s effectiveness in both administrative and operational fields,” it said.
The committee comprises MACC’s four top officers, four MACC panel and committee members as well as two legal experts.
Zakaria has also been appointed into the committee.
The others include MACC deputy chief commissioner (operations) Datuk Mohd Shukri Abdull, MACC deputy chief commissioner (prevention) Datuk Sutinah Sutan and Anti-Corruption Advisory Board member Tan Sri Rashpal Singh.
Actions to be taken by the committee include re-forming the commission’s structure and management besides improving its investigative effectiveness.
The committee will be assisted by the Performance Management and Delivery Unit (Pemandu) of the Prime Minister’s Department.
Local and foreign experts will help to evaluate and implement the RCI’s recommendations.
The RCI had recommended that action be taken against the officers who were involved in questioning Teoh.
