CYBERJAYA: The Immigration Department has found no evidence of passport misuse among foreign nationals linked to Network School in Forest City, Johor, after two rounds of inspections involving hundreds of individuals.
Immigration director-general Datuk Zakaria Shaaban said the department had inspected more than 300 foreign nationals as part of the investigation.
"Based on Immigration records, 430 individuals were identified as being involved with Network School.
"Of that number, 210 are still in Malaysia, while 201 are confirmed to have left the country.
"We also have 19 individuals whose movements cannot be traced," he told reporters after attending the 104th Immigration Day celebration here on Tuesday (July 21).
He said the untraced individuals may have entered or left the country illegally, adding that further investigations were being carried out to determine their whereabouts.
"We will continue our investigations to establish whether they are still in the country or have already left Malaysia," he added.
Asked if the department had found any cases involving the misuse of passports or identity documents among those inspected, Zakaria there were none so far.
The Network School recently came under scrutiny following allegations that Israeli nationals were among its participants.
