KPRJ WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION POLICY

The policy protects the whistle-blower who lodged a report or complaint, provided the report is made in good faith.

Any person that has made report in good faith is protected against adverse employment actions which will affect his or her livelihood (e.g. discharge, demotion, suspension, harassment or other forms of discrimination) for reporting improper conduct.

He or she is protected even if the report made proved to be incorrect or unsubstantiated.

Kindly refer to KPRJ’s Whistleblowing Protection Policy Manual for further elaboration

You may use one of the following channels to make any report / allegations for any suspected conduct that breach any laws and regulations

ASSURANCE OF CONFIDENTIALITY

All reports and identities of the whistle-blower will be treated in a confidential and sensitive manner. A report will only be disclosed to those who are authorized to carry out an investigation into matters relating to the report. The identity of the whistle-blower shall always be withheld in these circumstances.

If a whistleblower believes that he or she is being subjected to discrimination, retaliation, or harassment for having made a report under this Policy, he or she should immediately report those facts to KPRJ’s Audit & Risk Management Committee (ARMC) Chairman. Reporting should be done promptly to facilitate investigation and the taking of appropriate action.
