Press Release Summary: June 2008 - The Government of Malaysia through the Ministry
of Home Affairs has signed an agreement with Nexbis Sdn. Bhd., for the supply of a
forensic level National Security Solution to the Immigration Department of Malaysia
for foreigners entering or working in Malaysia. Tan Sri Abdul Aziz bin Mohd. Yusof,
Secretary General Ministry of Home Affairs, Malaysia said that NexCodeT will enhance
and increase the Immigration Department's nationwide enforcement capabilities with
access to secure information in real-time.

Press Release Body: "This agreement paves the way for the Government of Malaysia to
develop significant and coordinated inter-department and inter-government
collaboration via NexCodeT's capability to cross-link between agencies and even
governments to assist in internal and transnational crime, enhancing the nation's
security further, addressing issues faced by the country today in terms of
immigration related crimes and the exploration of potential Intra-Government and
Inter-Government security initiatives within Malaysia and with its neighbouring
countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Brunei in combating illegal
immigration, crime and even terrorism issues. NexCodeT provides Level 3 Security
(L3S) - the highest level of security available globally to address increasing
threats of local and international crime" YBhg. Tan Sri Abdul Aziz added.

He explained that current security solutions available in the market utilise first
and second level security (L1S and L2S) technologies only. However, such levels of
security have been proven insufficient to provide comprehensive security coverage,
as these either have limitations in use or have been compromised. RFID technology
used in many security solutions, for example, has been proven to have serious
security flaws whereby identity information can be stolen and cloned. This has
resulted in the Government of Netherlands, where the security flaw was exposed, to
issue a public warning on the matter.

Nexbis Sdn. Bhd. is supplying to the Immigration Department its National Security
Solution which involves the application of NexCodeT security features onto existing
immigration identity and travel authentication documents. All Immigration
enforcement officers will be equipped with secure mobile phone-based field
enforcement applications to carry out identity verification operations around the
country to perform forensic level enforcement on a nationwide basis with secure
access to information and statuses from its live databases.

Dato' Sri Johann Young stated "We believe NexCodeT is the solution to address a
spectrum of issues faced today by many governments worldwide in terms of national
security, identity protection and effective enforcement. NexCodeT has patents filed
in 140 countries and will pave the way for more efficient information sharing
between ASEAN governments as well as other potential governments who may adopt our
solution, whilst retaining their sovereign data integrity and security. Based on
global security technology standards similar to that mandated by the U.S. Department
of Homeland Security in compliance with the U.S. REAL ID Act of 2005, the NexCodeT
Level 3 Security solution not only includes identity protection but also crime and
riot prevention, fraud control, terrorism deterrence, revenue assurance, intra and
inter-government modules" Dato' Sri Johann concluded. www.nexbis.com
