The latest auditor-general’s report has found that the management of government vehicles under concession was unsatisfactory, with an estimated RM54.51 million in uncollected penalties.
The 2025 Auditor-General’s Report Series 3, tabled in the Dewan Rakyat today, said the vehicles were supplied late and that no claims or penalty charges were imposed.
“Audit analysis based on data from the concession vehicle management system found that as of Dec 31, 2024, a total of 6,028 vehicles were delivered between one and 508 days late, exceeding the 60-working-day delivery period from the order date.
“Audit checks revealed that, up to the time of the audit, there were no records indicating that any penalty claims had been made against the concession company(ies) involved,” the report said.
The report also found that the federal government had incurred an estimated RM28.79 million in additional costs by continuing to use concession vehicles with expired lease periods instead of replacing them with new vehicles within the stipulated timeframe.
