KLIA Thwarts Mass Illegal Entry Attempt: 64 Detained

Kuala Lumpur Airport Thwarts Mass Illegal Entry Attempt Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – In a significant security operation on May 14, 2025, Malaysian authorities successfully prevented 64 undocumented foreign nationals from illegally entering the country via Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1. The swift action by the Agensi Kawalan dan Perlindungan Sempadan Malaysia (AKPS), or the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency, thwarted what could have been a major security breach. According to AKPS reports, the individuals, comprised mainly of Bangladeshi, Indian, and Pakistani nationals, lacked the necessary documentation for entry into Malaysia. They were apprehended and are being processed for deportation. "The AKPS acted swiftly and decisively to prevent this illegal entry," said an AKPS spokesperson. "Our commitment to maintaining the security of our borders remains unwavering." The incident underscores the ongoing challenges faced by Malaysian authorities in managing illegal immigration. The AKPS's quick response highlights the importance of robust border security measures in preventing such attempts.
