34 illegal immigrants detained in Subang Jaya apartment raid
SUBANG JAYA: Noise, drunkenness, fights, and alleged break-ins are troubling residents of Seri Nipah Apartment here amid a growing presence of foreigners.
Residents of the Seri Nipah Apartment in Subang Jaya have expressed growing concern over the increasing presence of foreigners in their neighborhood. The complex has seen a significant rise in the number of foreigners living there, with many units reportedly rented to large groups of up to 10 occupants. This has resulted in overcrowding and frequent public disturbances, including noise, drunkenness, and fights.
Residents mentioned that foreigners often loiter in common areas, causing discomfort to families with young children and disrupting their peace at night. The Selangor Immigration Department has launched an integrated enforcement operation in response to these complaints. During the operation, which began after midnight, 280 people were inspected, leading to the arrest of 34 foreigners for various immigration offenses.
The detainees, aged between 20 and 40, originated from Indonesia, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Thailand. They were charged with offenses such as presenting invalid identification, violating pass conditions, overstaying their permits, and possessing unrecognized cards. All detainees will now be transferred to the Semenyih Immigration Detention Depot for further investigation and action.
