The immigration department crippled a migrant smuggling syndicate masterminded by a Cambodian man in a special operation at the Shah Alam bus terminal in Selangor on Sunday.
Immigration director-general Khairul Dzaimee Daud said the 47-year-old mastermind was detained together with five Myanmar nationals – two men and three women aged between 18 and 44 – when they exited the bus terminal at 7pm.
“Investigations revealed that all the Myanmar nationals did not have travel documents and, on further interrogation, it was found that they had just arrived in the country on Saturday.
