28 Puspakom staff among 55 held in ACA anti-graft blitz
Fifty-five people, more than half of whom are Puspakom employees, have been held for corruption in a nationwide blitz Tuesday and Wednesday. It is believed that they were earning up to an additional RM1,000 each a day or RM55,000 a month “in takings” from vehicles allegedly sent to the vehicles inspection specialist or better known as Puspakom (the Computerised Vehicle Inspection Centre).
Drug dealers are now using unwitting courier firms to do their smuggling for them. The Penang Customs' narcotics division seized a parcel containing 1,600 psychotropic pills which was sent by courier from Taiwan.
