KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 — Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) has denied appointing any third party to handle its recruitment following the emergence of a TikTok account, “kerjaya.ktmb”, which misuses the company’s name and logo to offer fake jobs.

In a statement today, KTMB said the account also attempted to obtain users’ personal information and advised the public to remain vigilant and not disclose personal information through unverified channels.

“KTMB wants to stress that it has not appointed any third party or created a dedicated social media account to handle recruitment, as claimed by the account,” it said.

The rail operator said it was conducting further investigations into the misuse of KTMB’s name and logo, as well as the dissemination of the fake job offers.
