21 dream cars confiscated by MACC after Immigration Department corruption unveiled

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has uncovered a corruption case involving workers in the Immigration Department and a syndicate to falsify the entry/ exit stamp.

According to a Harian Metro report, MACC, with the support of the Immigration Department, has been observing the individuals for at least 6 months.

Through the operation known as Ops Selat, authorities have found proof that these individuals falsify documents for the syndicate at the main entry and exit points of the country, especially KLIA, KLIA 2 and the Sultan Ismail Building in Johor Bahru.

This has led to MACC’s arrest of 46 individuals, 27 of which are immigration officers.

Suspicion rose when MACC observed that individuals with a minimum Grade KP19 classification in the civil safety and defence team – salary in this class ranges from RM 1,360 to RM 4,052 – becoming proud owners of luxury cars.

As a result, 25 vehicles worth over millions were confiscated including higher-end Japanese models like a Mitsubishi Lancer, Nissan GT-R along with 4 luxury motorcycles.

Unfortunately, MACC is still on the hunt for 2 more suspects; Yuen Hon Loong, 49, and Teo Hun Siang, 36.

The commission believes the men are the key influence to the case and are urging the public to contact MACC’s investigating officer Muhammad Hairi Mustafa Kamal at 014-3042 195/ 03-8870 0512 or email him at muhamadhairi@sprm.gov.my.

For now, we can only mourn that there are fewer eye candies on the road and hope that they will still be in good condition when they are auctioned off one day.
