One of the main tasks of the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) is to perform crash tests under the ASEAN NCAP banner, and to crash the cars, MIROS will have to first purchase them. And when there’s procurement involved, whatever the company, there’s always a chance to slip in some personal gain.
According to Bernama, former director-general of MIROS Datuk Khairil Anwar Abu Kassim was charged in the Shah Alam sessions court today on four counts of falsifying documents on the quotation of several vehicles for its crash tests. Khairil Anwar, 47, pleaded not guilty to all the charges.
It was reported that the ex-MIROS chief was charged with falsifying the quotation documents from several companies for the supply of 16 cars from Thailand for MIROS’ crash test lab in Bukit Katil, Ayer Keroh, Melaka, with the intention of using them as genuine. The offence was committed in Taman Kajang Sentral, Kajang, on July 24, 2017, it was alleged.
The charges were filed under Section 468 of the Penal Code. If found guilty, the accused can face up to seven years jail and a fine. The judge set RM50,000 bail with one surety and ordered Khairil Anwar to surrender his passport to the court and report himself at the Putrajaya MACC office on the first working day of every month. The court set November 21 for mention.

This Miros dude macam ada sembahyang punya olang. Tapi belakang Songlap jugak..
Abuden what to expect when Perodua is his organisation main sponsor and they give him cars to test in return for all 5 stars rating.
Tertuduh, Datuk Dr. Khairil Anwar Abu Kassim, 47, bagaimanapun mengaku tidak bersalah selepas pertuduhan dibacakan di hadapan Hakim Awang Kerisnada Awang Mahmud.
“Khairil Anwar didakwa memalsukan dokumen sebut harga bagi pembekalan 16 buah kenderaan jenis Suzuki Carry dan Cherry Transcab dari empat buah syarikat berlainan dengan niat menipu.
Kesemua kenderaan dari Thailand itu bagi ujian perlanggaran di makmal Miros di Bukit Katil, Melaka.”

Honda has helped to set up the Miros.
The article reports that the ex-MIROS chief was charged with falsifying the quotation documents for several companies for the supply of 16 cars from Thailand, not Perodua.
Another tip of iceberg case, wondering how abt other agencies within the government dept.
There’s another dude in the pic also got songlap case but PT seems never post the news here. Hmmmm??
This is why Malaysia is still a third world country slightly better than Indonesia! A small red dot down south of Johor has no resources of its own and yet has a per capital income far greater than Bossku’s nose hair combined! Corruption is so rife from even the most insignificant garmen agency to the most important one that even everyone, including, the blind, can see who is corrupt! Go Malaysia! You will always be slightly better off than Indonesia!
It’s time for Asean Ncap to relocate all its testing facilities to God-fearing, clean, zero corruption nation of Singapore.
Anwar menang rasuah hapus
Meanwhile in unity govt…HR Minister Sivakumar confirms five officers sacked following corruption probe…MACC takes statement from Human Resources Minister over migrant worker recruitment case…very clean indeed ; )
Must be like the direct negotiation tender given to this Spank Company at RM700,000,000 EXTRA direct negotiation tender for maintenance of government car brilliant use of tax payers money indeed.
If it is not clean, there would be a cover-up; MACC won’t take statement from minister & won’t have further action on those 5 officers.
biasalah, when anyone becomes ex-chief and when protection is no more, all the dirt will surface. if he is still heading MIROS, all the dirt will still be swept under the carpet.
This is why any crash test result (especially 5 Stars) by MIROS cannot be trusted. It is better to cross-check that car model with another crash test (such as EURO ANCAP) to see if it’s really a safe car.
all procurement in gov agencies…who audits these agencies??
Any update on the former MAARi CEO corruption cases?
As expected
Indiaa ker cinaa ?
Memang org Malaysia ler
Ngam lah dah tu gambar.. satu songlap dari MIROS, satu lagi songlap dari Marii. Itu baru boleh jadi brother mah! Signing MoU together lagi..
