Release CCTV footage of KLIA pilot inspection, says MP
Lim Lip Eng says the footage will provide the clearest evidence of how the inspection was conducted and whether all safety procedures were followed.
MP Lim Lip Eng has requested the release of CCTV footage showing the inspection of a Malaysian pilot at KLIA who was detained in Indonesia for allegedly smuggling drugs. The Indonesian Customs and Excise Directorate released footage on July 29 of the pilot being inspected at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta, where he was apprehended with 25kg of ecstasy pills and 2.7g of methamphetamine.
Lim, a DAP lawmaker, questioned the Malaysia Border Control and Protection Agency's (AKPS) claim that the pilot underwent proper security checks at KLIA, stating that if all safety procedures were followed, there would be no reason to withhold the CCTV footage. He urged authorities to release the full footage, without edits that could distort the incident's context, emphasizing that transparency would bolster public confidence in KLIA's safety.
