KUALA LUMPUR: Police will cooperate with Thai law enforcement agencies scheduled to arrive here tomorrow as part of investigations into a Malaysian company accused of being a “transnational crime syndicate” in the neighbouring country.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said Malaysian police have always worked closely with their counterparts, especially in Asean.
"We will give our full cooperation, so there is no problem," he said.
It was reported that the Thai officials will be in Malaysia for two days and will hold meetings with their Malaysian counterparts to gain more knowledge on the company, which has business operations in both countries.
Four of the law enforcement agencies on their way here are the Office of Narcotics Control Board (ONCB), the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO), the Narcotics Suppression Bureau (NSB) and the Department of Special Investigation (DSI).
The Penang-based company with business operations mostly in southern Thai provinces has been under intense scrutiny by authorities in both countries for suspicious business activities.
In recent months, Malaysian authorities raided premises and froze bank accounts linked to the company.
