Director-general Zakaria Shaaban stated that they are currently monitoring the situation, even though no official reports have been received yet. When asked about the matter following reports from Thai media outlets, Shaaban mentioned that they will obtain further details from Thai authorities. Thai authorities recently arrested two individuals suspected of being the leaders of a ring involved in trafficking Chinese nationals from the Cambodian border to Malaysia via Thailand. During a raid on a resort in Na Mom district of Songkhla province, they discovered six Chinese nationals and a Myanmar national who were awaiting transportation to be exploited in a scam syndicate. Additionally, four Thai nationals, including someone responsible for orchestrating the immigrants' passage from the Cambodia-Thai border to Hat Yai and further into Malaysia, were identified as being involved in this ring.",
