Nowhere to hide: Detained illegal foreign workers looking through the wire mesh of a Black Maria after they were picked up during the operation to flush out illegals in the Cameron Highlands.

PUTRAJAYA: The Government has launched a massive crackdown on those responsible for the illegal land clearing activities that led to the recent flash floods and landslides in Cameron Highlands.
