  "account": "Malaysian Immigration Department urges individuals with evidence of misconduct involving certain officers to submit their reports, in order to appear before the authorities and file a formal statement. Zakaria Shaaban, the Deputy Director-General of Immigration, stated that providing information to the relevant authorities is crucial, as it ensures the confidentiality of information and maintains the integrity of evidence. He emphasized that disclosing information about activities suspected of violating laws openly before submitting it to the authorities could lead to involved parties discontinuing their activities, changing their methods, or destroying evidence, which would compromise the investigation process and enforcement actions. Zakaria assured that every piece of information received regarding misconduct by Immigration officers will be investigated and forwarded for action in accordance with laws and regulations. He emphasized the agency's seriousness in handling allegations of unauthorized entry and unauthorized use of authority or breach of integrity by Immigration officers, regardless of rank or position. To strengthen integrity and accountability, 849 Immigration officers were taken disciplinary action cumulatively from 2023 to October of this year, including 73 officers dismissed from duty. In the period from January to October of this year alone, 96 officers were taken disciplinary action, including 18 dismissed from duty. Zakaria highlighted the agency's commitment to taking action against officers found to have violated regulations, without regard to rank or position. The Immigration Department will continue to strengthen aspects of integrity, procedural compliance, and internal control mechanisms to ensure that all services are carried out clearly, systematically, and in accordance with laws.",
