A senior employee of Malaysia Airlines (MAS) has lodged a police report against a Dhaka-based freight company co-owned by a prominent member of Parliament here.

He alleged that the company - abetted by a MAS official in Dhaka - was committing fraud by under-declaring the weight of cargo transported by the airline.

The employee lodged the report at the Petaling Jaya police headquarters yesterday.

Contacted this evening for comments, the freight company co-owner Mohd Zin Mohamed - MP for Shah Alam and chairperson of the Backbenchers Club in Parliament - said he was not involved in operational matters but would investigate the allegation.
