Foreigners held in illegal cosmetic surgery raid


KUALA LUMPUR: The Kuala Lumpur Immigration Department detained nine foreigners during a raid on two condominium units, believed to be carrying out cosmetic surgery procedures without a licence.

Kuala Lumpur Immigration director Wan Mohamed Saupee Wan Yusoff said a local man and woman, suspected of being agents for the clinic, were also arrested.

Among the cosmetic surgery services offered were rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery and facelift.

“All the foreigners arrested were from Vietnam. All suspects were taken to the Immigration office in Jalan Duta for documentation purposes,” he said.

Officers from the Kuala Lumpur health department were also at the raid, which took place in Desa Petaling and Bukit Jalil.

Wan Mohamed Saupee said the locals who acted as agents for the clinic were given a commission of up to 10% of the total fees charged to customers receiving surgical services at the clinic.

Cosmetic surgery services were offered for RM1,000 to RM15,000 using the services of a male “doctor” from Vietnam who is believed to have no licence or certificate to practise in Malaysia.
