Its managing director Badlisham Ghazali said he deeply regretted the incident in which the video recording was illicitly obtained and aired by foreign media.
He said MAHB’s security unit had also lodged a police report about it on Monday.
“We deeply regret the leakage of the recording considering that it is very sensitive evidence. Plus, the airport is a restricted area that cannot be conveniently trespassed (by anyone),” he told Bernama.
Badlisham said MAHB was now working with the government on the case and handed over a copy of the recording to the police on Feb 14.
“The master copy is still with us as we are the operator of klia2,” he said.
Badlisham said MAHB would conduct its investigation accordingly including, identifying the individual(s) who had entered the CCTV recording room on the day of the incident.
“We will investigate who was on duty on that day and unauthorised person(s) who entered the room,” he said.
According to Badlisham, the airport operator would also find out whether the recording was taken via a mobile phone or other means.
“MAHB will not take this matter lightly and rest assured that we will take the sternest action possible against the culprit(s),” he said.
Following the incident, he has issued instructions for heightened security controls in the CCTV rooms at all airports operating under MAHB.
“This includes prohibiting unauthorised persons and mobile phones into the room, as well as having to sign (in a logbook) as a proof of having entered the room,” he said.
On Feb 13, Jong Nam was in klia2 to board a flight to Macau when a woman suddenly covered his face with a piece of cloth laced with poison.
Jong nam, the elder half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who carried a passport under the name Kim Chol, died as he was rushed to Hospital Putrajaya.
