Raya Hamper

MALACCA: Those working in both the public and private sectors, who receive Hari Raya Hamper or gifts from anyone with official dealings with them, should report and declare the gifts to their department heads, said the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

Its deputy chief commissioner Datuk Sutinah Sutan, said it was best that they refused to accept the gifts to avoid elements of power abuse.

"The hamper givers are normally those who have official dealings. Otherwise, they would not give," she told reporters after attending a forum towards the transformation of the Malacca civil service at Seri Negeri here on Thursday.

Sutinah, who was one of the panel members at the forum which was opened by chief minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam, said the department head would decide whether the officer or the staff concerned could receive the hamper or gift.
