Border agency praises late officer Norhazwani’s dedication, pledges family support

TUMPAT, October 18 — A Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) officer, Norhazwani Ibrahim, 35, has been remembered for her exceptional dedication and hard work. AKPS Deputy Director-General (Operations) SAC Datuk Mohd Nasaruddin M. Nasir expressed his heartfelt praise for Norhazwani, who joined the agency in July following a transfer from the Customs Department.

According to Nasir, Norhazwani had performed excellently and was deeply committed to her responsibilities. Speaking to reporters at the family residence in Kampung Banjir, Telaga Lanas, Nasir highlighted that Norhazwani was a model officer, often working extra hours and bearing the burden of raising two young children. He emphasized that AKPS had not received any reports of any issues Norhazwani might have encountered prior to the tragic incident.

In response to the loss, AKPS personnel from Kelantan, including those in Rantau Panjang and Pengkalan Kubor, have stepped forward to provide financial aid to the family. The agency is also considering extending additional welfare measures, such as death benefits and psychological counseling, to support Norhazwani's loved ones during this difficult time.

On Thursday, Norhazwani was discovered deceased at the KLIA quarters, and a suspect was apprehended by the police shortly thereafter.
