WHISTLEBLOWING POLICY & COMMITMENT TO ETHICAL CONDUCT
At Amanahraya-Kendix REIT Manager Sdn Bhd (AKRM), we are fully committed to promoting and maintaining the highest standard of transparency, accountability, ethics, and good Corporate Governance in all aspects of our operations.
In support of this commitment – and in line with the enforcement of Section 17A of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act (Amendment) 2018, which establishes corporate liability for corruption—AKRM has adopted a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of corruption, misconduct, and unethical behavior.
One of the key mechanisms to uphold these standards is our Whistle Blowing Policy, which provides a structured and confidential channel for employees and members of the public to report any suspected improper or unlawful conduct involving AKRM personnel. Whistle blowing Policy is implemented to:
- Provide an accessible and secure avenue for employees and external parties to disclose any improper conduct, unethical behavior, or potential breaches that could harm AKRM’s reputation or compromise stakeholder interests;
- Offer a formal internal reporting mechanism in accordance with procedures outlined in this policy;
- Ensure that disclosures are handled appropriately, thoroughly, and in a timely manner;
- Provide protection for the whistle blower from reprisal as a direct consequence of making a disclosure and to safeguard such person’s confidentiality; and
- Ensure that both the whistle-blower and the alleged wrongdoer are treated fairly and with due process.
To ensure your protection under this policy, whistle-blowers are required to provide the following:
- Full name, NRIC number, and contact details
- Identities of the person(s) involved
- Detailed description of the nature of the allegation
- Date, time, and location of the incident
- Any relevant supporting evidence, if available
All reports will be handled with the strictest confidentiality. Complete protection will be provided to whistle-blowers against any form of unfair practices, including but not limited to retaliation, threats, intimidation, termination or suspension, demotion, disciplinary action, or any use of authority that interferes with the whistle-blower’s duties or ability to make further disclosures.
As outlined in our Commitment Statement, AKRM aligns itself fully with national efforts to combat corruption and enforce ethical business practices. We are dedicated to:
- 1. Upholding the highest standards of integrity and ethics
- 2. Complying fully with anti-corruption laws and regulations
- 3. Effectively managing corruption-related risks
This Whistle Blowing Policy supports our continued effort to foster a culture of integrity and public trust in our organization. AKRM requires the support and commitment of all staff and stakeholders in upholding these values
We encourage you to submit your disclosure/report confidentially here.
Please note: AKRM reserves the right to redirect the disclosure to other appropriate grievance channels if the issue raised does not fall within the scope of this policy.
