PUTRAJAYA: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said that the arrest of a South Kelantan Development Authority (Kesedar) officer, believed to be in connection with a recent criminal breach of trust case, can affect the image of the Rural and Regional Development Ministry.
The Rural and Regional Development Minister said they will not compromise on the aspect of integrity.
"Just because of one person, the perception of the organisation will turn negative. We cannot compromise on issues regarding integrity involving corruption, breach of trust, embezzlement or personal interests," he said during his speech at the KKDW 2022 Excellent Service and Appreciation ceremony here on Tuesday .
Preliminary investigations found that the act was carried out from 2016 to May 2023 involving 194 transactions from Kesedar's Development Fund and Trust Fund accounts to the accounts of companies owned by the suspect, totalling RM24,800,189.73.
