PUTRAJAYA: A syndicate which supplies illegal immigrants with fake temporary visit permits (PLKS) and is believed to have raked in RM4.5mil to RM5mil a year, has been busted by the Immigration Department in a special operation over two days since Wednesday (April 5).
In the operation, 43 men from India, 20 Bangladeshis and two Pakistanis aged from 25 to 45 were detained at a factory, a foreign worker dormitory in Selangor and the syndicate's office in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur.
"Initial investigation found the Indian man holds an authentic expatriate pass while the Bangladeshi was using a fake permit to move freely around in the country," he said in a statement on Friday . "When a deal is struck, the syndicate will supply foreign workers carrying fake permits and the employers or factories believe the workers are legitimate based on the sticker on the passport," he said."At the same time, the employers or factories using such workers will have to pay the workers' salaries through the syndicate," he said.
