SilTerra Malaysia has launched its corruption with themed “Together, SilTerra Pledge for Integrity”, to enhance the company’s firm commitment to upholding integrity and governance at all levels.
The programme is aimed at continuously instilling an environment of trust, transparency, and accountability within all aspects of SilTerra’s network of business operations.
The programme was launched recently at its head office in Kulim, Kedah and participated by the company’s Board of Directors, Senior Management, and all employees and was also streamed live from the company’s head office and witnessed by all employees based at its offices in Kulim, Kuala Lumpur, and Taiwan.
According to Tan Sri Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir, who is also Group Managing Director of Dagang NeXchange (DNeX), 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).
“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, fairly, and transparent manner, aligning with the company’s principles and code of conduct,” he said.
“SilTerra will up the ante towards a holistic approach to raising awareness regarding the threat and consequences posed by bribery while encouraging all employees to collectively partake in the prevention of and the fight against corruption,” he said.
“At SilTerra, we strive for quality and meritocracy to be competitive and progressive to become a zero-corruption organisation. 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, review internal processes and controls while maintaining a transparent monitoring mechanism throughout its operations at all levels,” he added.
As part of SilTerra’s Integrity Journey for 2022, the company has prepared a line-up of activities planned throughout the year to promote awareness of ethics and integrity to establish greater resilience towards corruption.
SilTerra’s Corruption-Free Pledge recital was led by Tan Sri Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir and followed by a signing ceremony of the Corruption-Free Pledge certificate, witnessed by Dato’ Shaharom Nizam Abd Manap, Kedah MACC Director during the said event.
SilTerra is a strategic investment of DNeX and Beijing Integrated Circuit Advanced Manufacturing and High-End Equipment Equity Investment Fund Center.
