Kuala lumpur: Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi has denied the issuance of a letter dated July 28, 2025, which has gone viral on social media, that was supposedly from the ministry regarding a gratuity payment to an individual.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Nanta stated that the letter was fake and was never sent out by the ministry or by him as the minister. He emphasized that the ministry did not issue any official invitation for such a gratuity payment ceremony and advised the public not to be deceived by documents that clearly contain elements of fraud and impersonation.

He added that the ministry was aware of the situation and is collaborating with the authorities to conduct further investigations. The public is urged to contact the ministry’s official channels via its website at www.kkr.gov.my or the ministry’s official hotline for any doubts about the authenticity of documents or communications allegedly from the ministry.

Previously, a letter had gone viral on social media claiming that a gratuity payment of over RM26 million was supposed to be presented to the next of kin of an individual at a ceremony to be held at the ministry here tomorrow.
