BTH: Auditor General's Report, PAC action & pro-rakyat relief [WATCH]
The latest episode Beyond the Headlines, discussed how the report has triggered swift responses from the government, with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim instructing all ministers to thoroughly act on the audit findings.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform), Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said, stated the administration takes the matter seriously, citing leakages, regulatory non-compliance, and weak planning as issues that "must be corrected and not repeated."
Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M) also weighed in, warning that the recurrence of such failures signals deep-rooted governance breakdowns.
While TI-M welcomed recent amendments to the Audit Act 1957 — including real-time monitoring through the Auditor General's Dashboard — they cautioned that structural reform must go beyond dashboards and enforcement.
Public Accounts Committee (PAC) deputy chairmanTeresa Kok joined us on set to address the PAC's role in prioritising cases for review, ensuring accountability, and proposing long-term reforms.
