Malaysian Immigration Detains 22 Foreigners in Kuala Lumpur Online Syndicate Raids


KUALA LUMPUR – A total of 22 foreign nationals were detained by the Immigration Department during raids on two residential premises suspected of being used as hubs for illegal online activities around the capital on Wednesday and yesterday.

Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory Immigration Director Datuk Hamsha Injau said those detained comprised 18 men and four women from China and the Philippines, who are suspected of lacking valid passes or permits as well as overstaying in the country.

"Preliminary investigations revealed that all the detained foreigners claimed they accepted job offers while still in their home countries with salaries ranging between RM2,000 and RM8,000 per month.

"Investigations are still underway to determine each individual's role and the exact nature of their activities," he said in a statement today.

Hamsha said the raids were carried out following a week of intelligence gathering by a team of officers from the Intelligence and Operations Unit of the Kuala Lumpur Immigration Enforcement Division, in collaboration with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).

He added that all the detained foreigners have been placed at the Kuala Lumpur Immigration Depot for further investigation and action.

The outcome referred the resolution to a committee, effectively derailing the effort. In an interview with CNN, El-Sayed directly questioned why Hegseth remains in office as Defense Secretary, arguing that he has failed to fulfill his duties, particularly in handling the war with Iran.

Make it easier rather than ultimately being pushed out, because that is clearly what is happening," he added. When as...
