How would you react if you are the Inspector General of Malaysian Police when you knew that police ’s transport has been equipped with imitation spare parts while government paid for the original parts. This is not amusing seems the supplier must have linked to any minister or big name in our political scenario.

It is been a normal cases when crony get a contract while anti corruption keep quiet. Or maybe the anti corruption agency also joined the culprit party over getting the tender from government? Readers out there, do comment on this post for the justice. Do you guys still remember on the Perwaja Steel corruption? Or the recent SMART tunnel?

KUALA LUMPUR: The police have been duped into paying RM5mil for imitation spare parts for their patrol cars and police vehicles.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan is not amused and has ordered a full investigation into the matter.

Police Logistics Department deputy director Deputy Comm Datuk Mahsuri Zainal said the IGP has ordered that those involved be dealt with severely.

He added that Musa also wanted a thorough review of all police purchases.

“We want to know how long these activities (cheating) have been going on and if any police officer or personnel is involved.”

The scam was uncovered when a police logistics officer, suspecting something amiss, sent more than 90 of the items to Proton headquarters for verification.

After checking, Proton confirmed that at least 70 of the parts were imitation products.

Police are investigating a vehicle spare parts supplier engaged by the Internal Security Ministry for allegedly trying to pass off the parts – said to have cost RM5mil – as genuine.

The Proton parts were for the use of police patrol cars and other police vehicles under the Logistics Department.

DCP Mahsuri confirmed that an officer had lodged a report last month.

Sources said the federal commercial crimes department has started a probe.

The case has been classified as cheating under Section 420 of the Penal Code.

The scope of investigations would also cover previous spare parts consignments ordered by the Logistics Department to determine if there had been cheating.

The department has more than 21,000 vehicles nationwide.
