KUALA LUMPUR, June 24 — The Johor Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency said the state’s coasts have become hotspots for people-smuggling syndicates bringing in undocumented migrants from Indonesia to be domestic helpers here.
Nurul Hizam said the syndicates would typically interview the migrants online before arranging to smuggle them. Separately, Indonesia’s ambassador to Malaysia Hermono warned his countrymen against entering Malaysia unofficially to seek employment, saying this would make them vulnerable to exploitation.
“We don't have their data, their contact, their work conditions and contract and even the data of the employers... so it will be risky for them,” the envoy was quoted as saying.
