PUTRAJAYA – The Immigration Department today lodged a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission over a viral video alleging that a woman from Indonesia known as “Kak Siti” had to pay immigration officers to enter the country.

Immigration Director-General Datuk Khairul Dzaimee Daud in a statement said the report was lodged by Deputy Director-General (Control) Datuk Makhzan Mahyuddin at the MACC headquarters here at 2.30pm.

He said the allegations made in the clip, titled “Kak Siti kena bayar ‘pelincir’ untuk masuk ke Malaysia”, could affect the department’s reputation.

“If the claims in the video are proven true, action will be taken against the officers involved.

“If they are not true, action will be taken against the woman making the comments in the clip.” – Bernama, May 27, 2021
