‘Quick action due to national security threat’


PUTRAJAYA: There were telltale signs of insiders’ involvement in a syndicate that hacked the Immigration Department’s computer system to issue fake temporary work permits (PLKS), but authorities could not wait until officers were identified to end the racket as national security was at risk, says Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Datuk Seri Azam Baki (pic).

Both MACC and the Immigration Department said they would leave no stone unturned in busting the syndicate and officers who worked in cahoots with the syndicate would face the brunt of the law.
