Robbers Pretending To Be Gov Officers Hoax Debunked!

Security Alert:

Be warned, there is a group going to homes and pretending to be officials from home affairs.

They have documents with the letterhead Department of Home Affairs and claim to be confirming that everyone has a valid ID for the upcoming elections.

They are robbing homes.

Take note there is no initiative like that from the government.

Send this on your neighborhood group chat. They are everywhere and they look presentable.

Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) kecewa dengan tindakan pihak tidak bertanggungjawab yang telah merakam gambar dan memfitnah dua kakitangan kami ketika sedang bertugas.

KKM memandang serius perbuatan ini dan telah membuat laporan polis kerana mengganggu tugas penjawat awam dan memfitnah.

Pada hari kejadian iaitu 9 Jan 2020, dua kakitangan kami ini sedang melakukan Active Case Detection (ACD) bagi Malaria.

Dua kakitangan kami ini telah mematuhi semua prosedur yang ditetapkan seperti menunjukkan kad kuasa kepada penghuni rumah dan melakukan siar raya menggunakan kenderaan jabatan sebelum aktiviti ACD dijalankan.

Justeru, tindakan merakam gambar, menfitnah dan menyebarkan di media sosial adalah satu kesalahan serius dan amat dikesali.

KKM amat berbangga dengan dua kakitangan ini iaitu seorang Penolong Pegawai Kesihatan Persekitaran (dahulu dikenali sebagai Inspektor Kesihatan) dan Pembantu Kesihatan Awam yang sabar dan tidak bertindak di luar batasan sebagai kakitangan awam walaupun dilayan secara tidak adil serta difitnah.

Jika ia melibatkan isu keselamatan, orang awam boleh menghubungi Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah atau pihak Polis jika merasa ragu-ragu dan bukannya bertindak seperti ini.

KKM berharap kes ini menjadi pengajaran kepada orang awam supaya tidak bertindak keterlaluan kepada kakitangan awam yang bersungguh-sungguh melaksanakan tugas yang diamanahkan demi menjaga kesihatan dan kesejahteraan rakyat semua.

The Ministry of Health Malaysia (KKM) is disappointed with the actions of the irresponsible party who took a photo and falsely accused two of our staff while on duty.

KKM is taking this action seriously and has made a police report for disrupting the duty of public servants and making false allegations.

On the day of the incident, 9 January 2020, these two of our staff were conduction Active Case Detection (ACD) for Malaria.

Both of our staff followed all the right procedures including showing their authority cards to the resident and conducting a survey of the area using an official department vehicle before carrying out the ACD activity.

Therefore, the action of taking the photo, making false accusations and spreading them on social media is a serious and greatly regrettable offence.

KKM is very proud of these two staff, a Deputy Environment Health Officer (used to be known as a Health Inspector) and a Public Health Assistant, who were both very patient and did not exceed their authority as public servants despite being mistreated and falsely accused.

If there are any security concerns, the public can contact the District Health Office or the police if you are in doubt, but no one should act like this.

KKM hopes that this case will be a lesson to the public not to be hostile to public servants who are hard at work, fulfilling their responsibilities to safeguard the health and well-being of our citizens.
