Selangor Immigration Department director Mohamad Shukri Nawi

SHAH ALAM (Bernama): It was like a action movie scene when a group of foreigners attempted to flee by jumping out of a building's windows, hiding in dumpsters and even in the ceiling when Selangor Immigration Department officers came knocking on their door Friday (March 1) night.

The officers carried out the raid at a workers' hostel in Bandar Sultan Suleiman, Klang, and some of the 149 foreign nationals panicked and tried various methods of escape, with some even trying to squeeze themselves into  drains, but in the end, they were all caught, says department director Mohamad Shukri Nawi (pic).
