All Directors and employees of the SAM and its Group of Companies (collectively, “SAM Group”) are expected to carry out our duties as required  and conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times. We will observe high standards of business and personal ethics, honesty and  integrity in fulfilling their responsibilities within all applicable laws and regulations. 

SAM Group has a clear policy of transparency and non-retaliation against whistle blowers. We have put in place an external hotline (“Hotline”),  for our customers, suppliers, business partners and employees to report any alleged fraud, corruption or unethical conduct. 

To preserve independence and objectivity, the hotline is managed by an external service-provider engaged by the Group. The service-provider  will route an incident to the appropriate management representative or directly to the committee charged with overseeing the integrity of the  organisation, after assessing the nature and gravity of each whistle-blowing incident. 

Please note that SAM Engineering & Equipment Berhad, a subsidiary of SAM that is listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities  Berhad, has in place its own whistleblowing policies and procedures which can be located at the following link: SAMEE Whistleblowing. 

To the extent that the law and the investigative process allow, all reports received, including the identity of the person making the report and  the parties involved, will be handled in strict confidence. In certain situations, it may be necessary for a reporting party to make a statement to  the relevant law enforcement authorities or give evidence in court. 

The whistle blower may make an anonymously report, or request the service-provider not to disclose his identity to the SAM Group. However,  we encourage persons making a report to provide his/her contact information to facilitate investigations and to enable us to provide updates  on the progress of the matter. 

Please note that the Hotline is hosted on a third-party website and your access and use of the third-party website or other facility provided by the service provider is subject to the terms and conditions associated with it. 

If you wish to make a report on the Hotline, please click “I agree” to indicate your consent for SAM Group and/or our service-providers to:- 

1. collect, use, transfer, store or otherwise process information that may be linked to specific individuals (“Personal Data”) in order to   report, assess, investigate and make a determination with respect to matters on which a report is made on the Hotline (“Purpose”); 
2. disclose and/or transfer (including across borders), your Personal Data to SAM and/or our service-providers for the Purpose.
