Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali has proposed that a National Integrity and Corporate Governance Index be introduced for organisations that deal with economics and commerce. He said at the Johor Integrity and Governance Summit 2018 that the index should be formulated by the Governance, Integrity and Anti-Corruption Centre (GIACC) to further strengthen the country’s foundation of integrity and good governance.“It serves as a reference, benchmark and barometer to observe levels and practices of integrity and governance within those organisations,” he said on the proposed index. Azmin added that the index can be developed in collaboration with stakeholders in the public and private sectors. “Inputs and views from all quarters will enable the creation of an index that can function as a value-added component in empowering the integrity and governance framework of the organisation,” he said.
