s 39 The chief executive officer may issue certificate to Inspector General of Police or the Director General of Immigration to prevent any person leaving Malaysia in certain circumstances
(1) (a) The chief executive officer may, where he is of the opinion that any person is about or likely to leave Malaysia without paying any moneys due to the Fund in respect of which an order of the Court has been obtained, issue to the Inspector General of Police or the Director General of Immigration a certificate containing the amounts payable to the Fund with request for that person to be prevented from leaving Malaysia unless and until he pays all the amounts payable to the Fund or furnishes security to the satisfaction of the chief executive officer for their payment. (b) Subject to any order issued or made under any written law relating to banishment or immigration the Inspector General of Police or the Director General of Immigration upon receiving a request under paragraph (a) in respect of any person shall take or cause to be taken all such measures (including the use of reasonable force and the seizure, removal or retention of any certificate of identity and any passport, exit permit or other travel document relating to that person) as may be necessary to give effect to it. (c) The chief executive officer shall cause notice of the issue of a certificate under paragraph (a) to be served personally or by registered post (addressed to his last known address) on the person to whom the certificate relates: Provided that the non-receipt of the notice by that person shall not invalidate anything done under this section. (d) Where a person in respect of whom a certificate has been issued under paragraph (a) produces a written statement signed on or after the date of the issue of the certificate by the chief executive officer or an authorized officer to the effect that moneys due to the Fund specified in the certificate have been paid or that security has been furnished for their payment, the statement or the payment, as the case may be, shall be sufficient authority for allowing that person to leave Malaysia. (2) No legal proceedings shall be instituted or maintained against the Board, its officers and servants, the Government of Malaysia, a police officer or any public officer in respect of anything lawfully done under this section.
