Op Birth: Two women held over fake birth registration probe

The Sun22-04-2025

SHAH ALAM: Two women have been remanded for five days starting today to facilitate a probe into the alleged submission of falsified birth registration forms.
Magistrate Mohamed Redza Azhar Rezali granted a remand order until April 26 for the two individuals, aged 43 and 49, following an application by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
According to a source, the suspects, a clinic assistant and a self-employed individual, were arrested at the MACC Selangor office yesterday afternoon.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the 49-year-old agent was responsible for managing and preparing supporting documents for infant birth verifications from hospitals across Selangor.
'The clinic assistant is alleged to have impersonated a civil servant to facilitate the process and received a bribe of approximately RM10,000 from an applicant,' said the source.
Meanwhile, Selangor MACC Director Hairuzam Mohmad Amin@Hamim confirmed the matter when contacted, and said the case is being investigated under Section 17(a) of the MACC Act 2009.
Last week, the media reported that 14 individuals, including three women, were remanded for five days to assist in investigations related to the submission of falsified birth registration forms. The births were not recorded by the hospitals named in the forms.
In March, the media also reported that MACC had arrested 16 individuals, comprising a civil servant, a medical practitioner with the title 'Datuk Seri', a legal practitioner, as well as several agents and applicants involved in the syndicate.
All suspects, aged between 20 and 70, were detained during the Op Outlander and Op Birth operations conducted in the Klang Valley and Johor.
They are suspected of soliciting and receiving bribes, in addition to preparing and submitting falsified birth verification documents from 2013 to 2018 and from 2023 to 2025.

High Court dismisses committal bid by former KL Tower operator

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here today dismissed the former operator of Kuala Lumpur Tower's leave application to commence committal proceedings against seven individuals and the government. The former operator, Menara Kuala Lumpur Sdn Bhd, and its parent, Hydroshoppe Sdn Bhd, are seeking contempt of court action against the eight for allegedly disrupting the administration of justice amid ongoing legal proceedings. Judge Roz Mawar Rozain, who rejected the application, ordered the two companies to pay RM25,000 to the respondents, including Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. Six other officials were also named as respondents, including Dang Wangi district police chief ACP Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman, Federal Land Commissioner Datuk Muhammad Azmi Mohd Zain and Communications Ministry Secretary-General Datuk Mohamad Fauzi Md Isa. In her judgment, Judge Roz Mawar ruled that the court was not satisfied there was a prima facie case to warrant the granting of leave for contempt proceedings. She further held that the court was not persuaded by Hydroshoppe's assertion of encroachment on its properties, regardless of the manner, given that its contract with the government had lapsed on March 31. The court also dismissed the inter partes injunction application by Hydroshoppe and Menara KL, ordering both companies to pay RM20,000 each in costs to the government, as well as to LSH Service Master Sdn Bhd, LSH Best Builders Sdn Bhd and Service Master (M) Sdn Bhd. The court then fixed July 14 to hear the striking-out applications filed by Fahmi and the three companies. Hydroshoppe and Menara KL filed a breach of contract suit against the respondents, alleging that LSH Capital and its subsidiaries induced a breach of an agreement purportedly reached with the government during a meeting in August 2022. The plaintiffs further claimed that the respondents engaged in dishonest assistance and are seeking a declaration that the award of the KL Tower concession to LSH Service Master is void and unlawful. In addition, they are claiming an estimated RM1 billion in damages and are seeking the concession of the iconic Kuala Lumpur landmark to be transferred back to them.
