KUALA LUMPUR – The Legal Affairs Division, the Legal Aid Department headquarters and the Malaysian Insolvency Department, which operate in the Legal Affairs Division building in Precinct 3, Putrajaya, will be closed today and tomorrow for sanitisation and disinfection.

In a statement, the Legal Affairs Division corporate communications unit said the measure is taken to ensure the health and safety of employees and members of the public, who have dealings with the departments in the building.

“As such, all services and face-to-face appointments at the affected departments have been postponed until they reopen on Wednesday,” the statement read.

In a similar matter, several Inland Revenue Board (IRB) offices in Kompleks Bangunan Kerajaan, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim, here will also be temporarily closed from today for sanitisation.

In a statement yesterday, the IRB chief executive officer’s office said three offices will be closed for only today, namely the Duta investigation branch (Block 8), Duta branch (employment) (Block 8A) and Kuala Lumpur legal branch (Block 10).

Offices closed from today until further notice are the non-resident branch (Block 8), special industries branch (Block 8), Kuala Lumpur payment centre (Block 8A, except the payment counter on the ground floor which will operate as usual), Duta branch (business) (Block 10).

As such, customers are advised to conduct all tax matters online for the duration of the closures. – Bernama, January 4, 2021
