Immigration Department Launches Probe
Malaysia’s Immigration Department (JIM) Director-General, Datuk Zakaria Shaaban, confirmed that they are investigating the matter from multiple angles.
So far, JIM has not received any official report regarding this issue. We are tracking down the TikTok account owner who uploaded the claim.
Zakaria added that airline staff visible in the video may also be called in to assist with the investigation.
The Immigration Department said it views the spread of such claims seriously, particularly when they involve national border security.
Zakaria urged anyone with additional information to come forward to assist the investigation.
Individuals or parties with supplementary details can contact the Immigration Department to assist in the probe.
Mixed Reactions: Concern and Calls for Justice
Meanwhile, the public is expressing serious concerns over national security and calling for swift action.
Many urged authorities to prosecute the individuals involved, describing the video as potentially damaging to Malaysia’s international reputation.
Some commenters suggested the matter be escalated to international authorities such as Interpol, while others noted that the creator may currently be in Cambodia and may be using the alleged fake passport.
The general sentiment is that such content—whether genuine or fabricated—should not go unpunished, with several describing it as a self-incriminating confession that warrants legal consequences.
Others questioned why Malaysians face strict documentation requirements while incidents like these appear to go unchecked.
