The Immigration Department in Malaysia will collaborate with Thai authorities to acquire comprehensive information regarding an alleged syndicate responsible for trafficking Chinese nationals from Cambodia to Malaysia, according to Immigration Director-General Datuk Zakaria Shaaban. Despite the department's lack of an official report on such activities, they are actively monitoring the situation.
Upon learning that Thai media outlets reported Thai authorities had arrested two individuals suspected of being the masterminds behind a ring trafficking Chinese nationals from the Cambodian border into Malaysia via Thailand, Shaaban stated that they would obtain further details from Thai authorities.
In a raid conducted at a resort in Na Mom district, Songkhla province, Thai authorities discovered six Chinese nationals and a Myanmar national who were awaiting transportation into Malaysia to participate in a scam syndicate. Additionally, Thai authorities identified four Thai nationals believed to be involved in the ring, including one individual responsible for orchestrating the immigrants' journey from the Cambodia-Thai border to Hat Yai and onward to Malaysia.
