22 February 2024, Putrajaya: SALCRA was among the recipients of the Anugerah Integriti, Governans dan Anti Rasuah (AIGA 2023). SALCRA received the Bronze Award at the ceremony held today in Putrajaya. AIGA was established to recognise and appreciate the efforts and commitments of both the public and private sectors in nurturing the culture of integrity, governance and anti-corruption in their organisation.

When asked to comment on the award, Tuan Joseph Blandoi, the General Manager said, “We are glad to have received this award. This award is one of the early results of our efforts to build a clean working culture. When I took over the leadership of SALCRA, we started by formulating the Organisational Anti-Corruption Plan (OACP) and implementing various initiatives. After three years, we have seen some encouraging results such as this award, as well as being rated by MACC as a medium-risk organisation.”

He added, “In fact, we didn’t expect to win anything. We participated to identify what are the gaps and weaknesses that we have in our system for improvement purposes. I must thank all officers and staff of SALCRA for supporting this initiative. However, the journey will not end here. There is still much room for improvement. We shall implement more initiatives to ensure everyone in the organisation internalises the importance of integrity in executing their responsibilities. Among the new initiatives include the Anti-Bribery Management System that shall start this year.”

The General Manager was accompanied by Encik Kubu Jenggi, the Internal Audit Manager; DSP AP Cannedy Ijau, the Chief Security Officer; and Puan Susan Steward Ngau, the Certified Integrity Officer at AIGA 2023 today.
