23 undocumented migrants detained


Busted: Immigration officers arresting undocumented individuals during the raid at Melaka Sentral.

MELAKA: Foreign migrants operating stalls at the Melaka Sentral bus terminal have alarmed a state exco who has called for more operations against them. “The presence of these migrants operating roadside stalls at Melaka Sentral has caused uneasiness and anxiety among the locals,” said Melaka women, family development and welfare committee chairman Datuk Kalsom Noordin.

She lauded the recent arrest of 23 undocumented individuals by the Immigrant Department at Melaka Sentral on Sunday as timely and necessary after locals had complained about their presence.
