KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysian police have successfully dismantled a suspected child trafficking syndicate, rescuing 17 Jordanian minors from forced begging in the city’s commercial hubs. Operatives from various anti-trafficking units conducted 13 coordinated raids across Bukit Bintang and Chow Kit, seizing numerous items and arresting 15 adults. Police believe the network operated out of Jordanian-issued 90-day social visit visas and generated RM500 to RM1,000 daily by having children solicit money.
