PETALING JAYA: Public transport operators who unknowingly transport illegal immigrants will not be fined as they are not authorised to check the status of their passengers, said Immigration Department director Datuk Ruslin Jusoh.

Ruslin also dismissed as fake a viral notice that public transport drivers will be penalised with a massive fine should they be caught doing so.
