KUALA LUMPUR: Police are investigating allegations of misuse involving the Malaysia Border Control and Protection Agency (MCBA) director-general's name and officers in purported procurement deals, according to Putrajaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Aidi Sham Mohamed. The police received a report on the matter on Aug 12, following which three individuals, including the complainant and witnesses, were interviewed to provide statements for the investigation.
The police are currently working to identify the parties responsible for the alleged misuse. Aidi Sham stated that the investigation is ongoing and they are exploring the possibility of a fraud syndicate being involved. As of now, they have not confirmed the presence of any fraud syndicate implicated in the case.
The investigation is being conducted under Sections 468 and 471 of the Penal Code. Earlier reports indicated that MCBA had lodged a police complaint regarding the alleged misuse of its director-general's name and officers' names for procurement purposes. The MCBA reported receiving complaints that companies were sent documents purportedly bearing letters of acceptance signed by the MCBA director-general and its officers.
These documents, believed to be fraudulent, included forged signatures and fake agency letterheads to deceive companies into believing they were official MCBA procurements.
