Imigresen KL siasat dakwaan seleweng pas khas warga asing

Kuala Lumpur Immigration Department is investigating allegations of irregularities in the processing of special category departures for foreign nationals, according to Hamsha Injau, the commissioner. The inquiry will focus on verifying the legitimacy of the claims regarding violations of laws or regulations. The department assures that it will not compromise on integrity and will take appropriate action if evidence of wrongdoing is found.

"Action will be taken if there are evidence of contravention of laws or regulations," he stated in a statement to Bernama. Injau also advises the public to deal exclusively through the official channels of the Immigration Department and to avoid using intermediaries who do not have the necessary authority. Earlier today, a news portal reported that a special category facilitation allegation, which was supposed to assist foreign residents facing serious concerns and compelling them to stay in Malaysia, was allegedly systematically abused to extend their stay.

The report also accused the relevant personnel of involving local intermediaries who handle applications, collect applicants' passports, and send their photos to immigration officers through an application confirmation service.
