  "account": "Imigresen Department has requested individuals with information or evidence related to alleged misconduct by certain employees in connection with the Pas Khas exit scheme to appear and submit a formal report to the relevant authorities. Zakaria Shaaban, the Director-General of Imigresen, emphasized that providing information to the authorities is crucial to ensure the confidentiality of information and the integrity of evidence is maintained. He stated that disclosing information about suspected activities that violate laws openly before forwarding it to the authorities may cause involved parties to cease activities, change their methods of operation, or destroy evidence, thus complicating the investigation and enforcement process. Zakaria reassured that Imigresen is always open to receiving information regarding employee misconduct and guarantees that every piece of information received will be investigated and routed for legal action and enforcement procedures. He emphasized that Imigresen takes allegations of exit scheme fraud seriously and will not compromise on any misconduct, misuse of authority, or breach of integrity by departmental employees, regardless of rank or position. To demonstrate their commitment to strengthening integrity and accountability, 849 Imigresen employees faced disciplinary action cumulatively between 2023 and October of this year, including 73 dismissed from duty. In the same period, January to October 2023, 96 employees were disciplined, including 18 dismissed from duty. Zakaria pointed out that these statistics reflect the department's determination to take action against employees found to have breached disciplinary rules, irrespective of rank or position. He reiterated that Imigresen will continue to strengthen aspects of integrity, procedural compliance, and internal control mechanisms to ensure that all services are carried out transparently, systematically, and in accordance with the law.",
