Chief secretary to the government says leakages were due to smuggling activities.
The government has suffered losses of between RM3 billion to RM5 billion a year due to revenue leakages at the country's entry points, said Chief Secretary to the Government Ismail Bakar .
"The revenue leakages have been going on for a long time, we do have data on revenue leakages especially in terms of our negligence or inadequate equipment ... for example, cigarette and liquor smuggling and this is still happening," he told a press conference in Sungai Petani.Without elaborating on the data, Ismail said the use of new technologies to monitor border crossings should be upgraded to prevent the country from losing revenue there.
Meanwhile, Ismail said civil servants should work to increase cooperation with politicians, especially those who are members of government administration.
