KUALA LUMPUR, 24 APRIL 2026 – After lodging a police report over the NexG Berhad scandal, Malaysia Corruption Watch (MCW) has submitted a memorandum to the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Abu Hanifah Noordin, urging him to proceed with an internal investigation into Victor Chin, the former Chief Operating Officer (COO).
MCW President Jais Abdul Karim said the move was important to ensure that Abu Hanifah and the company’s current management are not perceived as protecting alleged misconduct. NexG is responsible for supplying MyKad, MyTentera and the new MyPOCA structures for the National Registration Department (JPN).
NextG Scandal
“As a company entrusted with supplying key national identity documents to the rakyat, NexGmust avoid being embroiled in integrity and misconduct issues by providing clarity to the public on the long-running scandal involving Victor Chin.
“Not only NexG shareholders, but Malaysians also have the right to receive accurate and truthful information regarding the various allegations of misconduct linked to Victor Chin, as taxpayers’ money has been channelled to NexG through these supply contracts,” he said.
The memorandum concerns serious allegations involving the misuse of company funds amounting to RM303.7 million during the period Victor Chin Boon Long served as NexGBhd COO between November 2024 and September 2025.
Recently, Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri R Ramanan described Victor Chin Boon Long as a “corporate devil” during a special press conference, while denying any involvement in the “Corporate Mafia” scandal.
The controversy also centres on MMAG Holdings Bhd share transactions involving Victor Chin’s wife, Chan Swee Ying, who was reported to have disposed of a 9.53 per cent stake (220 million shares) worth RM88.22 million to NexG Bhd.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail had previously confirmed that authorities are tracking Victor Chin following allegations of his involvement in a forced corporate takeover syndicate.
