Fake birth registration syndicate offered up to RM50,000 in bribes
PETALING JAYA: A fake birth registration syndicate crippled earlier this week is believed to have offered bribes of between RM5,000 and RM50,000 to facilitate the illegal purchase of babies and preparation of falsified birth certificates.
Bernama, quoting a source, said initial investigations by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) had uncovered transactions amounting to RM400,000.
It said the syndicate is believed to have been operating since 2021 and MACC is still working to identify the mastermind.
“Preliminary findings indicate that agents advertised their services through social media and personal connections,” the source said.
On Wednesday, 14 people, aged between 28 and 49, were remanded until April 20 for allegedly submitting registration forms containing false birth details.

He said further arrests were likely in the near future.
