Show-cause letters, counselling for 27 Immigration officers caught in nightclub raid

Home minister says officers tested negative for drugs but were warned over misconduct

3:35 PM MYT

 

KUALA LUMPUR — The 27 Immigration officers who were detained in a raid at a nightclub on Jalan Kampung Pandan in April 2024 have been issued show-cause letters and received counseling.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail stated that the show-cause letters were issued to understand their presence at the premises and to seek clarification regarding allegations of drug abuse.

According to Saifuddin, the officers were also counseled and warned by the State Immigration director, and a commitment was made on May 3, 2024.

“The Immigration Department (JIM), in collaboration with the National Anti-Drug Agency, conducted urine tests on all 27 officers involved from June 4 to 14, 2024.

“The results were ‘negative’,” he said in a written reply in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday.

Saifuddin said this in response to a question from Datuk Wan Saiful Wan Jan (PN—Tasek Gelugor), who wanted to know the action taken against the 27 Immigration officers who were caught at a nightclub last year, which clearly violated regulations as enforcement officers, even though no criminal offenses may have been committed.

Earlier, Scoop revealed that 161 individuals, including the 27 Immigration officers, were detained at a club in a raid conducted by the Narcotics Crime Investigation Department (NCID) Bukit Aman.

Based on police reports obtained by Scoop, authorities raided Mansion 9, located on Jalan Kampung Pandan, at 1:30 am on April 26, 2024, following information about drug-related activities at the premises.

Sources contacted by Scoop confirmed the raid at the nightclub, which involved several Immigration officers who were socialising.

The raid occurred just months before former Immigration director-general Datuk Ruslin Jusoh, in July 2023, urged officers in the agency to maintain the department’s integrity and avoid misconduct.

Moreover, JIM director-general Datuk Zakaria Shaaban recently reiterated the department’s commitment to accountability.

In November 2019, JIM issued a directive prohibiting staff from being in high-risk areas such as entertainment centers, massage parlors, gambling premises, or similar places that could raise suspicion and negative perceptions of the organisation, except with the permission of the director or on official duty.

This is because the presence of JIM officers and staff at these locations could create a negative image for JIM when there are raids by other enforcement agencies. – March 5, 2025
