Kuala lumpur: The Immigration Department (JIM) has taken disciplinary action against 41 officers, including dismissals, over the past four years for their involvement in "flying passport" syndicates at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). Its director-general, Datuk Zakaria Shaaban, said that out of the total, 20 officers were sacked from the service between 2022 and 2025 after being found guilty of related offences. According to BERNAMA News Agency, these actions were the result of transparent investigations conducted in accordance with established regulations. Datuk Zakaria Shaaban made this statement in response to a media release by the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) on Monday regarding an investigation into alleged "flying passport" activities at KLIA Terminal 1. Zakaria highlighted that last year alone, 61 cases referred by the EAIC were brought before the department's Complaints Committee and acted upon in line with current disciplinary procedures and provisions. He emphasized t he department's respect for the EAIC's role as an integrity monitor for enforcement agencies and its commitment to taking findings and recommendations seriously, ensuring actions align with public service regulations and legal frameworks. He reassured that JIM is committed to handling every case referred by the EAIC with gravity and without compromise, reflecting their ongoing commitment to accountability, integrity, and good governance.
