Are you banned from leaving Malaysia ?

09Aug10

I was at the Kuching airport the other day . I heard a wealthy looking man was not allowed by the immigration Department to take the flight to Singapore, as he has been blacklisted for being a bankrupt .

Do you know that 424,653 persons have been blacklisted mainly for defaulting in tax payments, not paying educational loans and also for being declared bankrupts.

Those blacklisted include high profile individuals carrying titles of Tan Sri, Datuk Seri and Datuk.

• The Insolvency Department has the bulk of those blacklisted, with 196,473 persons (46%) declared bankrupt;

• The blacklist comes from 13 government agencies, which also includes the Inland Revenue Board and the Immigration Department;

• The youngest person blacklisted is just 25.
