Peninsular Malaysia Customs Officers Union To Meet PM
PETALING JAYA, April 8 (Bernama) -- The Peninsular Malaysia Customs Officers Union (PMCOU) hope to meet Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak in efforts to discuss issues faced by the Customs Department.
PMCOU president Ibrahim Ahmad said the moral and credibility of Customs and officers has been affected by media reports in relation to corruption and money laundering charges involving RM108 billion.
"As the Prime Minister and Finance Minister, we hope Datuk Seri Najib can advise us on ways and means to restore the dignity and image of the Customs which was drastically affected by incorrect media reports," he told reporters after attending an emergency PMCOU meeting held at the Kelana Jaya Customs office and attended by officers from throughout the country.
Ibrahim said media reports claiming corruption and money laundering involving Customs officers amounting to RM108 billion was not logic since the agency had collected RM28.3 billion last year.
He added that during the emergency meeting Friday it was also decided that a meeting be held with the Commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Datuk Seri Abu Kassim Mohamed to explain details of the investigations carried out by MACC.
"We want the MACC Commissioner to give assurance that officers under investigation will not be roughed up during interrogation. We also want the MACC to follow the proper procedures, be professional and responsible in handling their investigation," he said.
He added that the Union planned to meet Abu Kassim in his Putrajaya office on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, Selangor Customs deputy director Ahmad Sarbani Mohamed, 56, who was under investigation by MACC and detained during a major operation on April 1, was found dead at the Kuala Lumpur MACC office in Jalan Cochrane.
Ahmad Sarbani was among 62 Customs officers of various ranks detained by MACC during Ops 3B on April 1.
