Smaller packages for RM6bil Immigration job

Enhanced technology: The Immigration Department may soon get a major security upgrade worth over RM400mil, following the recent sabotage on the Malaysian Immigration System.

PETALING JAYA: A planned multi-billion-ringgit project to upgrade the country’s immigration system and tighten national border security may now be repackaged into smaller portions, say industry sources.

Instead of awarding the full 12-year contract, which could be valued at close to RM6bil, the Government may opt to kickstart the security upgrades by awarding it in smaller work packages, they said.
