KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2 — The government will continue to strengthen public service governance and integrity to combat the leakage of public funds and abuse of power, particularly involving Federal Statutory Bodies, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

He said the matter was among the issues discussed at the Special Cabinet Committee on National Governance (JKKTN) meeting, which he chaired yesterday.

“I stressed that law enforcement must be accompanied by the continuous cultivation of integrity and good governance in the public and private sectors, as well as in society,” he said in a Facebook post yesterday.

He said the meeting also agreed for a legal study to be conducted to draft the policy, governance direction and the Charities Bill to regulate trust entities and public funding.
