KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 8): The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) will probe the government vehicle fleet concession after the auditor general highlighted poor management in the latest report.

PAC chairperson Datuk Wira Mas Ermieyati Samsudin said representatives of the Ministry of Finance will be summoned to explain the management of the government vehicle fleet.

“The date of the proceeding will be announced later,” she said in a statement on Wednesday.

The latest Auditor General’s Report highlighted the federal government's poor management of the vehicle fleet, citing delays in deliveries and failure to impose penalties.

This included about RM54.51 million in penalties that were not enforced on the concessionaire, even though 6,028 vehicles were delivered late — some by up to 508 days — despite the contract clearly providing for such penalties.

The report did not name the concessionaire, but the Ministry of Finance had previously stated in a parliamentary reply that Spanco Sdn Bhd currently manages the government’s vehicle fleet.

Mas Ermieyati said the PAC will also examine the e-Jamin online bail payment system, with the Office of the Chief Registrar of the Federal Court to be called to testify. However, she did not elaborate.

The committee also plans to visit the Littoral Combat Ship project site to assess the current status of the vessel construction during the ongoing Parliament sitting, she added.

Year to date, Mas Ermieyati said the committee had presented 14 PAC reports and plans to table another four during the current sitting.
