MACC going after agencies handling funds

KUALA LUMPUR: Graft busters will start looking at the impact and success of initiatives carried out by agencies handling public funds and will red flag them if they are deemed to have failed in their mission.

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), in an article today cited agencies and funds like the National Economic Recovery Plan (Penjana), the Malaysian Indian Society Transformation Unit (Mitra), and the Malaysia Automotive Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii) as examples that were established to help people affected by economic pressure during the Covid-19 pandemic.
