190 foreigners held in Pudu entertainment centre raid early today

On early hours of today, immigration authorities in Kuala Lumpur detained 190 foreigners and two locals at an entertainment center in Pudu following public complaints. The center was situated just 10 meters away from a mosque, reported Bernama.

Deputy Director-General of Enforcement from the Immigration Department, Basri Othman, disclosed that the center housed multiple rooms, with 50 to 60 individuals crammed into each. The detainees encompassed 99 men and 91 women aged between 20 and 41. Out of the 99 men, 188 were identified as Indonesians, while two were from Bangladesh and India.

Most of the detainees were reported to have overstayed their visas and lacked valid travel documents. Othman suspected that immoral activities might have been taking place at the center, as evidence of condoms was discovered during the raid. All the detained individuals were subsequently transferred to an immigration detention facility for documentation and further investigation.
