00:00Two Chinese nationals working in Malaysia are facing income tax bills amounting to about 748,000 ringgit and 842,000 ringgit, respectively,
00:12after their employer allegedly used their identities to submit false salary information.
00:17At a press conference held by the MCA Public Services and Complaints Department on Monday,
00:22the 42-year-old victim said she made the discovery when she tried to extend her work permit,
00:26while another 40-year-old victim found out about it when she was extending her spouse's visa.
00:56The 24-year-old victim told me that she received the visitation of the U.S.
01:01She sent me a message that she received the permission of the U.S.
01:03She sent me an email that she received a message to get the information that I received from the U.S.
01:06and I sent her message to the U.S.
01:08She sent me a message to the U.S.
01:09She sent me a message to the U.S.
01:11Her case, together with this Madam Chang,
01:41Chen Nishi, it's the same thing, same thing, same story,
01:46same story except Chen Nishi, Madam Chang,
01:51he's married here, okay?
01:55He's married here, okay?
01:57I mean, he do not have to go back now, okay?
02:02But for this victim here, he cannot go back
02:06because he was blocked by the immigration
02:10for further investigation.
02:13The department said the employer, who is a Chinese national,
02:16owned several mini markets and a steamboat restaurant
02:19and he allegedly misused the two victims' identities and passports
02:23to file tax returns with the Inland Revenue Board.
02:26They said the employer allegedly declared
02:28that the workers earned close to RM1 million annually,
02:31whereas their actual salaries were only between RM7,000 and RM10,000.
02:36They said this would allow the employer to report lower profits
02:39and reduce its tax liability.
02:41They said such cases have been occurring frequently in Malaysia
02:44and some have even been referred to the department by the Chinese embassy.
