The Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory Department of Environment (JAS WPKL) has uncovered three attempted scams involving fake government order documents that misused the names, logos, and identities of several department officers. The issue was brought to their attention after a diving equipment supplier, registered as a vendor or contractor in the government procurement system, received a suspicious government order document featuring the JAS logo on August 3.
Further investigation revealed that inquiries regarding government orders for organizing a program using scuba equipment started arriving on August 12, 2026, pointing to another company involved in a scam with a total value exceeding RM100,000. JAS WPKL has informed the JAS Headquarters Finance Section and lodged a police report regarding these scam cases.
The department emphasizes the importance of vigilance in checking and verifying the authenticity of questionable government order documents to prevent the misuse of the Department's name and identity, as well as to protect the interests of suppliers and the government against any form of fraud or impersonation.
