PUTRAJAYA: An Indonesian woman was detained at the departure hall of Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 2 (KLIA2) on Saturday (Aug 16) after immigration officers discovered a suspicious security stamp in her passport.
The Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency said that initial investigations revealed the woman had entered Malaysia through immigration at the Sultan Abu Bakar Complex in Tanjung Kupang, Johor.
"However, further checks via the MyIMMs system showed no official record of entry or exit for the subject up to this year," it said in a statement on Sunday (Aug 17).
Following this, AKPS said, the woman was arrested on suspicion of committing an offence under the Immigration Act 1959/63.
According to the statement, the individual would be handed over to the Selangor Immigration Department's Enforcement Division for further investigation and action.
The agency stated that the matter would be investigated further to identify those responsible and that disciplinary action would be taken against any officers involved.
The agency also stressed that efforts to combat falsification of travel documents and any form of immigration law violations would be intensified to ensure the safety and integrity of the country's entry points are maintained. – Bernama
