LAPORAN AUDIT Ketua Audit Negara mendapati Jabatan Penyiaran Malaysia didapati membuat perolehan berjumlah RM111.30 juta tanpa sebarang kontrak formal.
Perkara itu didedahkan dalam Laporan Audit Negara 2013 siri ke-2 yang dibentangkan di parlimen hari ini.
Laporan itu menyebut, arahan perbendaharaan menetapkan bahawa kontrak formal perlu dibuat bagi perolehan melebihi RM50,000 untuk memastikan kepentingan Kerajaan terjamin.
"Semakan Audit terhadap 426 program (rancangan televisyen) mendapati 413 program berjumlah RM111.30 juta tidak mempunyai kontrak formal.
"KKMM berpendapat SST (Surat Setuju Terima) yang digunapakai memadai untuk menggantikan kontrak formal sebagai ikatan antara kerajaan dengan pembekal.
"Akibat ketiadaan kontrak formal boleh menyebabkan kepentingan Kerajaan di dalam perolehan ini tidak terjamin," laporan audit dipetik.

More than RM100 million worth of broadcasting deals without formal contracts (16 June 2014)

The Broadcasting Department agreed to RM111.3 million worth of deals without inking any formal contracts.
The second series of the 2013 Auditor General Report found that the department, formerly known as Radio Televison Malaysia (RTM), of the total 426 television programmes, 413 of them did not have a formal contract.
The programmes were for TVi, a new interactive channel launched in April 2011.
This was done despite a Treasury regulation that requires formal contracts for deals worth more than RM50,000.
Instead, the national broadcaster only relied on letters of acceptance (SST) as legal documents.
"The lack of formal contracts can affect the government's interests in procurements, making it not guaranteed," said the report.
The report also noted that RTM entered a three-year tie-up with satellite broadcaster Astro without any formal contract.
The agreement, from 2012 to this year, was to have TVi on Astro in exchange for promoting the satellite broadcaster's NJOY package on RTM's television and radio channels.
"This will affect the government's interests if any misuderstanding should arise.”
The audit found RTM had overcommitted itself by RM21.79 million for the 426 programmes via direct negotiations although the approved budget was for RM90.04 million.
Moreover, the report noted that RTM failed to impose Liquidated Ascertained Damages (LAD) totalling RM182.142 for 42 programmes which exceeded the validity period of their contracts.
"The audit found that 42 programmes which were found to be late between 24 and 217 days were not levied any penalties," it said.
In its reply, the Communications and Multimedia Ministry said it would utilise a formal contract at its procurement board meetings.
It will also ink a formal agreement with Astro to ensure TVi can continue to be broadcast on the satellite channel, and the contract is expected to be signed before or on June 30. – June 16, 2014.
