PETALING JAYA: Overseas travel costs incurred by civil servants for procurement-related matters can no longer be paid by private companies, according to a circular by the Treasury Department dated Dec 21.

The department said in the circular the cost must now be predetermined and included in the contract with the private company that has successfully made a tender.

According to the circular, among the overseas assignments are factory assessments, pre-delivery inspections, project monitoring reports, transfer of titles, training and executive reporting tests. "This is not applicable for training assignments that will be set according to contract terms," it read.
