Arrested: Three Bangladeshi men and an Indonesian woman were caught in the waters of Kuala Sepang Besar.
MALACCA: Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) has identified Sepang coastline as a hotspot for illegal landing and human trafficking activities due the topography of the site that is filled with mangroves and estates.
The other factor that MMEA enforcement - based in Kuala Linggi - noted was the proximity of Pulau Rupat in Sumatera and Sepang, approximately 32 nautical miles (64km) that made it easy for encroachment.
