Four enforcement officers, aged between 20 and 40, from the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) complex in Bangunan Sultan Iskandar, have been remanded for six days until August 1st on suspicion of accepting approximately RM3,000 in bribes for illegal passport stamping at the Malaysia–Singapore border.

The officers were arrested yesterday in connection with the "flying passport" scam, where passports are stamped without the holder being physically present. Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers seized 14 foreign passports, four mobile phones, and RM3,000 in cash during the arrests. Preliminary investigations suggest each suspect received around RM200 per illegally stamped passport.

The case is being investigated under Section 17(a) of the MACC Act 2009, which carries a penalty of at least 10 times the bribe amount or RM1 million (whichever is higher) and/or up to 20 years' imprisonment.
