FOREIGN workers without proper documentation, drug addicts, drunks, vagrants, illegal hawkers, metal thieves, pirated VCD peddlers, errant taxi drivers and traffic offenders will be targeted in the next three months in a massive crackdown on Brickfields to rid the township of illegal activities and vice.

The three-month enforcement crackdown called “Total Enforcement pilot project” in Brickfields was launched by Bukit Aman Crime Prevention and Community Safety Department director Commissioner Datuk Acryl Sani Abdullah. It is the result of several months of meetings and dialogue sessions between the police and stakeholders.
