Selangor immigration raids Taman Langat Utama, Taman Langat Murni

Ten illegal immigrants were detained in an operation by Selangor Immigration Department in Taman Langat Murni and Taman Langat Utama which came under administrative Movement Control Order (MCO).

The three-hour operation which began at 9 am involved the inspection of 803 foreigners living in the area under administrative MCO.

"Those arrested comprised four men and a woman from Indonesia, a man from Bangladesh and four men from India aged 19 to 50. They were picked up for various immigration offences,” a source told Bernama here today.

The source said, all illegal immigrants detained were brought to Selangor Immigration office and would be investigated under Section 35 of the immigration Act 1959/63 before being sent to the Immigration Detention Depot in Semenyih.

Taman Langat Murni and Taman Langat Utama came under administrative MCO on June 2 when 20 foreign workers of a cleaning company in Kuala Lumpur International Airport were found positive for COVID-19.

Apart from the personnel of Selangor Immigration Department, it was learned the operation today was also participated by teams from police, Rela, Kuala Langat Municipal Council and Health Ministry.

A Bernama observation found the personnel were also dressed in personal protection equipment as a precaution.

The administrative MCO area covering 43.3 hectares has about 9,000 residents with foreigners making up 30 per cent of the population. - BERNAMA
