SHAH ALAM, May 29 — The police arrested 11 foreign nationals, believed to be attempting to flee Malaysia illegally at Pantai Tanjong Rhu, Pulau Carey, at 12.30am today.
Kuala Langat district acting police chief DSP Mohd Sufian Amin said the arrest of all the immigrants, aged seven to 51, was carried out by the General Operations Force (GOF) from the Pulau Carey post.
The force members spotted suspicious behaviour when the immigrants were gathering at the beach.
Those arrested consisted of two men and four women, as well as a boy and four girls believed to be Indonesian and Myanmar nationals, who also failed to produce any personal travel documents when inspected.
“When interrogated, the immigrants admitted that they wanted to exit the country through a sea route, and they were all taken to the Banting police station for further action,” he said in a statement here today.
Sufian said all 11 suspects were remanded for 14 days starting today, and the case is being investigated under the Immigration Act 1959/1963.
