摘要
马来西亚国防部正就总理指示暂缓涉及马来西亚武装部队和皇家警察的采购决定寻求更多信息与澄清。该部表示将依据现有治理框架、财务法规和法律要求审查执行细节，并深入评估此举对现有合同、作战需求和国家安全的影响。国防部强调，在审查过程中必须确保国防战备和行动连续性不受影响，同时将改进采购流程以加强治理。
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 16 — The Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) is seeking further information and clarification on the directive to temporarily shelve the procurement decisions involving the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) and the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).
Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said they will also examine implementation details in line with existing governance frameworks, financial regulations and legal requirements.
He said MINDEF acknowledges Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s instruction to shelve procurement decisions linked to corruption issues.
“In reviewing this matter, MINDEF must give serious consideration to ensuring that the nation’s defence readiness and operational continuity are preserved and not compromised,” he said in a statement posted on X.
Mohamed Khaled said the ministry will also conduct an in-depth assessment of the decision’s implications on ongoing procurement, including existing contracts, taking into account contractual obligations, current operational needs and overall national security interests.
“As announced earlier this week, MINDEF is also reviewing measures to improve procurement processes to strengthen governance and prevent future leakages,” he said.
Earlier today, the Prime Minister ordered that all MAF and PDRM procurement decisions linked to corruption are temporarily shelved pending full compliance with procurement procedures.
He said the government, through the relevant ministries, will review and restructure all procurement processes to ensure transparency in the existing system. — Bernama
