False Blossom

by Golda Mowe

Perkasa Semiconductors, a chip fabrication plant in Kuching, has a malware attack that is soon linked to the HR Manager, Jonathan anak Tuba. When three of his colleagues go to his home to confront him, Jonathan is found dead. Initially the police thinks it to be a suicide, but the detective leading the case, Inspector Kamsiah, becomes suspicious when all her attempts to find a particular witness proves futile. Though she has a picture of the woman, there is no record of her anywhere. She reaches a dead-end, until the IT manager David Wong introduces a facial recognition software into the security system of the company. This woman, it turns out, has just been recruited into the company.
