PUTRAJAYA — The Immigration Department (JIM) has launched a public appeal for citizens to report alleged irregularities related to special passes, directing complainants to lodge reports either with the department itself or with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
The directive underscores the department's commitment to maintaining the integrity of Malaysia's immigration system and ensuring that special passes are issued and managed in accordance with established procedures.
Members of the public who suspect improper conduct or violations in the special pass application or approval process are encouraged to provide detailed information to support investigations. The dual reporting channels allow complainants to choose the avenue most suitable to their circumstances.
Special passes in Malaysia are typically issued for various purposes, including foreign workers and individuals requiring temporary or extended stay arrangements. Ensuring transparent and accountable management of these passes remains a priority for immigration authorities as they work to combat misuse and uphold regulatory standards.
