Immigration Dept to use new system by next year

KUALA LUMPUR: A new integrated computer system is being developed to replace the Malaysian Immigration System (MyIMMs) aimed at preventing fraud and hacking of the Immigration Department’s IT system, says Immigration director-general Datuk Khairul Dzaimee Daud.

The announcement by Khairul Dzaimee comes in the wake of a joint operation with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to cripple a syndicate involved in the hacking of the department’s computer system to produce thousands of forged temporary employment visit passes (PLKS) for foreign workers over the last few years.
