EAIC finds Sabah NRD officer delayed child IC application unreasonably
The EAIC, in a statement, said the delay reflected a failure to carry out duties properly, taking too long to initiate an investigation and demonstrating inefficiency in managing the case.
'This action is also inconsistent with the NRD's Code of Ethics, which outlines the need for strong commitment and readiness to perform duties responsibly and diligently within a set timeframe while ensuring quality,' the statement said.
Following this, the EAIC has decided to refer its investigation findings to the NRD Disciplinary Authority, recommending disciplinary action under Regulation 38 of the Public Officers (Conduct and Discipline) Regulations 1993 [P.U.(A) 395/1993] for inefficiency provided for under Regulation 4(2)(e) of the same regulations.
In addition to disciplinary action, the commission proposed several improvements, including revising work procedures and enhancing standard operating procedures, particularly by establishing a clear timeframe for officers to carry out investigations effectively.
The EAIC also recommended the formation of a 'Flying Squad' at the NRD headquarters in Putrajaya to identify the causes of backlog cases, whether due to the attitude of officers involved or other factors contributing to non-compliance with established procedures and guidelines.
Previously, the EAIC received a complaint against a Sabah NRD officer who was alleged to have failed to take appropriate action on the complainant's child's new identity card application.
Following the complaint, an investigation was conducted under subsection 27(4) of the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission Act 2009 [Act 700].

Health Ministry CKAPS officers face disciplinary action for inefficiency
PUTRAJAYA: The Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) has recommended disciplinary action against two Private Medical Practice Control Section (CKAPS) officers under the Health Ministry for weaknesses in feedback management and delays in completing an investigation paper. The commission said it had received complaints about CKAPS officers in Putrajaya and Melaka who were alleged to have failed to respond to an application for the release of seized items. It then carried out an investigation under subsection 27(4) of the EAIC Act 2009, the commission said in a statement on Friday (July 25). "The investigation found that the officer in Putrajaya failed to provide any feedback regarding the application for the release of seized items submitted by the complainant. "It also found delays by the investigating officer from Melaka in completing the investigation paper in accordance with the standard operating procedure (SOP) for cases involving healthcare facilities and services,' it said. EAIC said the delays had disrupted the investigation process and resulted in the case taking an unreasonably long time to conclude. As such, the commission decided to refer the findings to the ministry's CKAPS authority, recommending that disciplinary action be taken against the officers involved. The recommendation falls under Regulation 38 of the Public Officers (Conduct and Discipline) Regulations 1993, for inefficiency or lack of effort as provided for under Regulation 4(2)(e) of the same regulations. – Bernama
