PUTRAJAYA – The Road Transport Department (RTD) will investigate in collaboration with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on the allegations of a social media influencer named Azrul Affandi Sobry on illegal licences (lesen terbang).

RTD said the matter is being taken seriously and the individual would be called in for further statements and to assist in the investigation.

“RTD would like to stress that it will not compromise on any form of misconduct involving RTD employees if it is true what was claimed by Azrul, where RTD enforcement members are involved in selling illegal licences,” it said in a statement today.

RTD said to date, a series of MACC investigations have been conducted on the department, including one in 2018.

Through a post on social media, Azrul claimed that there are RTD officers directly involved in selling driving licences by accepting bribes from candidates who do not pass their driving tests. – Bernama, December 4, 2021
