KUCHING, Nov 12: The Ministry of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts (MTCP) warns the public against fraudulent letters using its name to solicit services, following the recent discovery of fake letters involving requests for vehicle maintenance services and the supply of generator systems.

The ministry said it had received reports of irresponsible parties allegedly impersonating the ministry by issuing fake official letters to deceive individuals and organisations into providing the requested services.

In an official statement posted on Facebook today, the ministry identifies two suspicious letters: one dated Nov 5 seeking vehicle servicing and maintenance services for its official departmental vehicles, and another dated Nov 9 seeking suppliers to provide and deliver EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 generator systems for the Diskop Pesona exhibition programme.
