KLIA enforcement officer detained in counter setting probe
PETALING JAYA: An enforcement officer was detained at KLIA Terminal 1 this morning on suspicion of being involved in a practice known as “counter setting,” where selected individuals are allowed through immigration inspection counters without undergoing proper legal procedures.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the records contained the last four digits of passport numbers which were believed to be linked to the unauthorised facilitation of individuals entering and exiting the country.
The arrest took place after AKPS’s monitoring and integrity unit detected suspicious behaviour on CCTV footage of the inspection counter.
The officer was initially handed over to AKPS KLIA’s integrity unit for internal investigation before the case was transferred to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) Selangor branch for further action.

AKPS stated that it takes all breaches of integrity seriously, especially those involving national entry points. It also pledged to take firm action against any officers found involved in such misconduct.
He confirmed that these officers were no longer serving at immigration counters at KLIA.
This followed MACC’s discovery of a syndicate bringing foreigners from Myanmar, Bangladesh, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, and Nepal into Malaysia through entry points without proper inspection by authorities.
The syndicate’s operations came to light after the agency initially arrested 12 individuals in the Klang Valley, Penang, and Kelantan.
