WORKS Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi has denied the authenticity of a letter dated July 28, 2025, which went viral on social media, purportedly from the ministry regarding a gratuity payment to an individual.

He said that the letter was fake and was never issued by the ministry or himself.

"The ministry never issued any official invitation for such a gratuity payment ceremony. As such, I advise the public not to be deceived by such documents, which clearly contain elements of fraud and impersonation," he said.

He said the ministry is working closely with the authorities to investigation the matter, reported Bernama.

The public is urged to verify any suspicious documents or communications allegedly from the ministry through its official website at www.kkr.gov.my or by calling the official hotline.

Earlier, a letter had gone viral on social media claiming that a gratuity payment of over RM26 million was supposed to be presented to the next of kin of an individual at a ceremony to be held at the ministry. – August 5, 2025
