The move to corporatise the Royal Malaysian Customs Department, scheduled to be implemented this month, has been postponed. This is to allow the department to conduct a more detailed study on the move. Its Director-General, Datuk Seri T. Subromaniam said he would visit several countries including Australia, Singapore and the UK, to see how the customs departments manage their organisations. And a cabinet paper on the corporatisation exercise will be submitted for a decision later. On March 13th, last year, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced that corporatisation represented the government’s reward to the department for its excellence performance and its staff would enjoy a better service scheme. In September, Treasury Secretary-General, Tan Sri Dr Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah, said the Customs Department would be corporatised January this year following the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax, GST. Last year, the customs department achieved its RM 42 billion target set for GST collection.
