Speaking to reporters on his first day at the RTD office here today, he said he would review the department’s systems and procedures to see if it inconvenienced the people.
Shaharuddin was previously head of the Legal Advisory Office in the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
He said he was determined to improve the department’s administrative practices and transform it into an excellent and top-notch road transport enforcement body in the Asean region.
“I do not want to be seen as a corruption buster.
“Every government sector is committed to rejecting corruption and it is an ongoing process,” Shaharuddin, 57, said, when commenting on his MACC background as an investigation officer.
He said that while his vision was to improve the RTD’s performance, it did not mean the department was problematic.
“We (RTD) are good but we want to elevate ourselves to a higher standard,” he said.
Shaharuddin said the RTD would also work more closely with other related government bodies like the police and local authorities.
