RM$20,000 BRIBE PAID TO TOP OFFICIALS!

It was interesting to read, that our very own ACA, went undercover for 5 months to bust a ring of syndicate involving social visit visa’s.

Its highly commendable work, and, credit should be given when due. Without fear or favor takes a new meaning, in Malaysia this time around!

Imagine the rot in the civil service, and worst of all it starts from the very top.

Director-general and deputy director-general of the immigration arrested for taking bribes?

My, my this indeed a c4 story. Total of 13 people were taken in for question and answer session with the ACA. RM$150,000 was also sized, but I believe this peanuts, as the amount should run into millions if such high guns are involved. We just have to wait for the ACA to come out with more figures.

According to the star, senior officers get between RM500 and RM700 per passport for a single extension while top officers get between RM10,000 and RM20,000 per agent per month.

This is indeed a lot of money. And I believe there is also a whistle blower somewhere in the midst. A disgruntle immigration officer who did not receive his fair share. Well whatever it was, at least in this case, the ACA did not hide anything or sweep it under the rug.

So I have to eat my words this time and utter these words of praise to our ACA:

BRAVO ACA director-general Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan, JOB WELL DONE!

MY HATS OFF TO YOU SIR! KEEP UP YOUR GOOD WORK! MAY YOUR DEDICATION AND HARDWORK FIND MORE CORRUPT OFFICIALS….cheers
