15 Undocumented Migrants Arrested in Kuala Lumpur Factory Raid
Kuala Lumpur Immigration Raid Nets 15 Undocumented Migrants A recent raid by the Malaysian Immigration Department (JIM) in Kuala Lumpur resulted in the arrest of 15 undocumented migrants (PATI). The operation targeted two scrap metal factories and a waste management facility located on Jalan Chan Sow Lin. Authorities apprehended individuals from India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Nigeria. "We received a tip-off about illegal workers," said an unnamed JIM official involved in the raid. "The operation was swift and efficient, and we managed to detain all 15 individuals without incident." The video footage shows officers searching the premises, discovering the migrants, and escorting them to a waiting transport vehicle. The migrants appear to be cooperating with authorities. The raid highlights the ongoing challenges faced by Malaysian authorities in combating illegal immigration and ensuring fair labor practices. The successful operation underscores the commitment of JIM to uphold immigration laws and protect the rights of legal workers. Further investigations are underway to determine the employers' complicity in harboring the undocumented migrants.
