In a move to bolster accountability and transparency in Malaysia’s e-procurement landscape, Commerce Dot Com Sdn Bhd (CDC) exchanged a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Institute of Integrity Malaysia (IIM) on Tuesday (5 November).
The partnership reflects CDC’s commitment to promoting high standards of integrity and governance within the ePerolehan system and across its workforce.
The MoU exchange ceremony, held at Dewan MATRADE Kuala Lumpur during the Sambutan Bulan Integriti Nasional (SBIN) celebration, was witnessed by Deputy Prime Minister YAB Dato’ Sri Haji Fadillah bin Haji Yusof and attended by Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar, who also serves as the Chairman of the Institute of Integrity Malaysia.
CDC’s CEO, Datuk Muzafar Kamal Shahaluddin, emphasised the importance of this partnership, stating, “We are proud to embark on this significant partnership with the Institute of Integrity as a significant step towards elevating integrity standards in Malaysia’s e-procurement system. By investing in our workforce and engaging with the community, we are committed to fostering a culture of transparency and accountability, which are essential for building public trust and ensuring the success of our procurement processes.”
The collaboration aims to foster ethical practices within CDC and the broader ePerolehan community by leveraging IIM’s expertise to reinforce moral values and governance standards. This effort will be supported by a joint working committee from both organisations, which will oversee the implementation of the MoU and conduct regular assessments to ensure continuous improvement.
The partnership outlines proactive measures to embed integrity across government procurement, ensuring a system that aligns with both public and governmental expectations for transparency and accountability. This initiative underscores CDC’s commitment to public sector integrity, aiming to strengthen trust and integrity in its digital procurement services.
