PUTRAJAYA, July 1 (Bernama) — The Department of Agriculture (DOA) has denied issuing any physical government order documents or supply orders outside its official system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement today, the department said it views seriously complaints of fraud cases involving the alleged misuse of its name and officials\u2019 positions to produce forged government order documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe irresponsible party\u2019s cunning tactics were intended to deceive local supplier companies into providing supplies and services purportedly for departmental programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis fraudulent activity has resulted in a supplier company being deceived and incurring financial losses, while no official procurement was carried out by the department,\u201d the DOA said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The department said the act constituted a serious crime with the clear intention of damaging its image and credibility, as well as that of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The DOA also stressed that it does not issue government orders manually or through personal channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this regard, it advised all parties involved in procurement and related matters to use the government\u2019s official e-Procurement (eP) system for all applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSupplier companies are advised to contact the DOA first before providing any supplies or services requested by certain parties to avoid a recurrence of similar fraud cases,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
