In a crackdown on illegal beauty treatments, the Immigration Department (JIM) apprehended seven Indonesian nationals operating in Shah Alam, Pandan Perdana, and Kepong, Malaysia. The operation, conducted on September 18, targeted four locations and involved personnel from JIM's Intelligence and Special Operations Division, along with support from the Pharmacy Enforcement Division in Putrajaya, Selangor, and Kuala Lumpur.
The detained individuals, comprising one man and six women aged 19 to 44, were believed to have been offering beauty and aesthetic services primarily to other Indonesians in the Klang Valley through social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Appointments were required for these services, which took place at rented residential premises to avoid detection.
JIM's statement highlighted that the group's activities had been ongoing since the previous year, potentially generating up to RM50,000 in monthly income based on the number of customers and services provided. The detained individuals faced various charges under the Immigration Act 1959/63 and the Control of Drugs and Cosmetics Regulations 1984, including possession of unregistered products. All seven suspects will be further investigated by the Ministry of Health.
