KUALA LUMPUR – The Immigration Department arrested 14 foreigners – 13 women and a man – in raids under Op Gegar at two prostitution dens around Subang Jaya yesterday.
Immigration Director-General Datuk Seri Khairul Dzaimee Daud said those detained comprised 12 Thai women, one woman from Myanmar, and a British male, all aged between 21 and 69. The department also issued notices to three local male customers to give statements.
“The Op Gegar raids were carried out simultaneously on two premises in budget hotels around Subang Jaya at 8.45pm. Intelligence work found the premises patronised by both locals and foreigners.
“The sex service packages offered ranges from RM200 to RM270 for a 45-minute session and RM950 for ‘outcalls’ from 10pm to 7am. Customer reservations are made through a website and Telegram,” he said in a statement today.
Khairul Dzaimee said that during the raids, all the women refused to open their rooms, citing various reasons in order to escape. Several condoms and lubricants were also found.
He said all detainees were placed at the Bukit Jalil Immigration Depot, and the case was investigated under the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act, Immigration Act 1959/63, Passport Act 1966 and Immigration Regulations 1963, for lacking valid identification documents and overstaying. – Bernama, January 19, 2022
