Police working to identify those behind alleged misuse of MCBA DG's name
KUALA LUMPUR: Police are working to identify those behind the alleged misuse of the Malaysia Border Control and Protection Agency (MCBA) director-general’s name and those of its officers in purported procurement deals.
The Malaysia Border Control and Protection Agency (MCBA) director-general's name and officers' names are being investigated for alleged misuse in procurement deals, according to Putrajaya police. The police received a report on the matter on August 12 and have recorded statements from the complainant and witnesses to aid their investigation.
Assistant Commissioner Aidi Sham Mohamed stated that police are still working to identify the responsible parties and are investigating the possibility of a fraud syndicate's involvement. The case is being examined under Sections 468 and 471 of the Penal Code. MCBA had previously reported receiving complaints about companies receiving documents with forged signatures and fake agency letterheads, purportedly signed by the director-general and officers, in what they believed to be official procurements.
