Anti-Bribery and Corruption (ABC) Policy

1. Introduction

Rankpage Sdn. Bhd. (“the Company”) is committed to conducting its business dealings in an honest, ethical, and transparent manner. This Policy sets out the parameters to prevent the occurrence of bribery and corrupt practices in relation to the Company’s business operations in Malaysia.

2. Compliance with Malaysian Law

The Company strictly complies with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009. Under Section 17A of the Act, a commercial organization may be held liable if a person associated with it engages in corrupt conduct by giving, agreeing to give, promising, or offering any gratification for the benefit of the Company to obtain or retain business or a business advantage.

3. Application and Scope

This Policy applies to all:

  • Employees: Including full-time, probationary, contract, and temporary staff and Directors.
  • Third Parties: Including but not limited to customers, business partners, white-label partners, resellers, contractors, and consultants performing work or services for or on behalf of Rankpage.

4. Prohibited Conduct

4.1 Bribery and Gratification

Employees and associated third parties shall not offer, promise, give, request, or accept any undue advantage (financial or non-financial) as an inducement or reward for performing or refraining from performing their duties.

4.2 Facilitation Payments

Facilitation payments (incentives given to secure or expedite a routine function) are strictly prohibited. Any offer or request for such payments must be reported immediately to Management.

5. Hospitality, Gifts, and Entertainment

The Company recognizes that modest corporate hospitality is a legitimate way to build business relationships. However, such hospitality or gifts must be:

  • Moderate and reasonable in value.
  • Infrequent in nature.
  • Transparent and open.
  • Not given to influence or obtain an unfair advantage.

6. Partner Due Diligence

Rankpage will carry out appropriate due diligence on all business associates and third parties before contracts are signed or renewed. Standard terms in all contracts enable the Company to terminate the agreement in the event of bribery or corruption.

6.1 Conflict of Interest

Employees and associated third parties must avoid situations where personal interests conflict, or may appear to conflict, with the interests of the Company. Any actual, potential, or perceived conflict must be disclosed to Management promptly. Employees must not take part in decision-making where such a conflict exists without proper approval.

7. Whistleblowing and Reporting

Any Employee or third party who encounters actual or suspected violations of this Policy is required to report their concerns immediately through our confidential reporting channels or email to [email protected]. Retaliation against any person who reports a violation in good faith is strictly prohibited.

8. Monitoring and Review

The Board of Directors will monitor compliance and review this Policy regularly to ensure it remains relevant to Malaysian legal requirements. Failure to comply may lead to disciplinary action, termination of employment/contract, and criminal proceedings.
