SilTerra executive chairman Tan Sri Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir said in the statement that the semiconductor foundry’s renewed commitment to enhancing the concept of integrity will prescribe to the enforcement of Section 17A under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 (MACC Act 2009).

He said the implementation of the clause is liable to the company including the board of directors and senior management, to ensure businesses and operations are being conducted in an ethical, fair and transparent manner, aligning with the company’s principles and code of conduct.

He added that the company has strived for quality and meritocracy to be competitive and progressive to become a zero-corruption organisation, as well as to practise a holistic approach to raising awareness regarding the threat and consequences posed by bribery. 

“All leaders and senior management should go through leadership restructuring, allowing the most qualified individuals to run the company to curtail nepotism and cronyism.

"This enables the organisation to adopt ethical business conduct, and review internal processes and controls while maintaining a transparent monitoring mechanism throughout its operations at all levels,” he said.
