The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC, or also known as SPRM) has uncovered a syndicate accused of compromising the Malaysian Immigration System (MyIMMs) to fraudulently process Temporary Employment Visit Passes (PLKS). The operation was carried out jointly by MACC and the Immigration Department of Malaysia (JIM), following months of intelligence sharing between the two agencies. Among those arrested were two company directors, three foreign nationals, four Immigration Department officers, two officers from JIM’s Information Technology Division, and one police officer. Authorities simultaneously carried out searches at several company premises, as well as Immigration Department offices in Penang and Putrajaya, as part of the operation. The government is currently replacing MyIMMs with the National Integrated Immigration System (MyNIISe), which is slated for nationwide rollout this September.
