Whistleblowers can be rewarded with incentives


Bar Council president Christopher Leong has said that incentives can be offered to whistleblowers in order to encourage more people to come forward.

However, he added that it is up to the particular enforcement agency.

"According to Section 26 of the Whistleblower Protection Act 2010, the enforcement agency may order such rewards (to be given).

"And it is up to the enforcement agency to come out with such rewards," he said.

Leong was speaking at a forum titled "Whistleblowing in Malaysia: its nature, the law, protection and challenges" in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

A representative from Gabungan Pelajar Melayu Semenanjung (GPMS), Jais Abdul Karim had earlier asked whether incentives would be given to whistleblowers.

"I think giving incentives will encourage people to come out.

"Since whistleblowing can save millions of Ringgit, I don't see why incentives should not be given," he said.
