The operation, which involved enforcement teams from the Immigration Department, Road Transport Department, and multiple Immigration offices, conducted raids at 19 locations across Kampung Sumsum and Kampung Cheringin, covering construction sites, farms, and resorts. The detained foreigners, aged between 20 and 54, included nine women and were taken to the Semenyih Immigration detention depot for further action. Two notices were issued requiring premises owners to appear before the Immigration Department's Investigation Division for further investigation.",
