PETALING JAYA: All it took was 10 minutes, with easily available material and equipment, for a family-run Bangladeshi syndicate to churn out Enforcement Cards for undocumented foreign workers.

The Immigration Department arrested 14 suspects, including a man and his wife during a raid at a house in Seri Kembangan, after about three weeks of surveillance.
