It started like an average day in UEM Sunrise. Everything looked normal. Challenging as always but normal, until suddenly they were surprised by the presence of a band of Malaysian Anti Corruption Commision (MACC) officers at their premise to take away a friend and two bosses from them. The news stroke the company like the Cretaceous–Paleogeneon meteoroid.
The employees were divided in response to the news, however the management on a press statement assured that "as a company with zero tolerance for graft, it would continue to cooperate fully with MACC in the investigations." While the MACC still ravaging the office in searching for evidences and proofs, a town hall was held by the Commander In Chief, Mr Anwar Shahrin to address the issue. Anwar emphasize his staff on the importance of the company's Wistleblower Policy that has been in place for ages. The policy guarantee the privacy of the staff who witness and report any suspicious activities within the company to the management.
The damage is done and it would take some time before the trust of the shareholders recover. Some people commented in response to this tragedy;
You can get back the money you lose.
But nothing can compensate the lost of integrity."
Others defended that peoples should not judge the whole organisation of 3000 based on a mistake by 3 persons while quoting a Malay proverb;
Nevertheless, the company need to works hard and stay "strong and united" to bounce back to its glory. UEM Sunrise are about to launch the most awaited development in Iskandar Puteri in the middle of this February. The performance from last year shows improvement and while none dare to ask this during the town hall, every staff are looking forward to be rewarded.
