KUALA LUMPUR: A preliminary investigation report by police into the recently leaked KLIA confrontation video will be sent to the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) on Tuesday (Oct 6), says Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
The Home Minister said the AGC would determine whether the investigation papers were complete or whether further action was required.
"There is a strong possibility the AGC will direct further steps to ensure the investigation papers are convincing and have sufficient basis for a case," he told the Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday (Oct 6).
This comes after a viral video showed Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) director-general Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain reprimanding an individual at KLIA on Sept 28.
Saifuddin said police were also investigating how the video was leaked and subsequently spread widely.
He said this included examining whether the footage originated from KLIA's more than 5,000 CCTV cameras operated by Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB).
"If the source was the 5,000 CCTV cameras, it means they are under the control of Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd.
"Did the leak begin there, or did it involve secondary recording?" he said.
He said the investigation would also cover the leak and source of the video's dissemination, alongside witness statements and other evidence.
"The element of the leak, the source of the video's dissemination, is also on the checklist, in addition to recorded statements and other evidence," he said.
He was responding to a supplementary question from Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamudden (PN-Alor Setar) on an update of the current investigation.
Saifuddin also said AKPS would be given access to KLIA's main CCTV control room to strengthen security monitoring.
He said this involved more than 5,000 CCTV cameras at KLIA and KLIA2 currently operated by MAHB.
Discussions with MAHB had already secured agreement for AKPS to have access, with the arrangement now undergoing administrative processes.
"AKPS will look at matters from a security perspective. This has already been agreed upon, and it is now at the administrative stage to enable it to operate," he said.
Saifuddin said AKPS would also install additional CCTV cameras during the second phase, particularly at locations identified as blind spots.
He said the move would complement the Immigration Department's existing control room, which primarily monitored entry and exit counters.
Saifuddin added that the Immigration Department's transition from its 30-year-old MyIMMs system to the Malaysia National Integrated Immigration System (MyNIISe) was underway with an expected rollout in the first quarter of next year.
