According to the updated bio on Ajeet's account, Ajeet is the former president of the Immigration Services Union Peninsula Malaysia. This made it clear that the viral claim is misleading.

Current Defense Minister of Malaysia is "Mohammad Hassan" and before him, Nishamuddin Hussein was the Defense Minister of Malaysia. Along with this, the current Defense Minister of Canada is Bill Blair.

Conclusion- Spokesman in its investigation found the viral post to be misleading. The Sikh officer who shook hands with Harjeet Singh Sajjan is Ajeet Singh, Former President of Immigration Services Union Peninsular Malaysia.
