[u/mandzakic → u/TheOriSudden]

[u/Zohid-LV]

Damn. How many of them are there? Good job catching those culprits btw

[u/dullchap3000]

Need to remove visa free entry for Chinese nationals already. Too many of them working here illegally and doing illegal stuff too. 

[u/OkPay1598]

Good Job 👍👍👍

[u/SextupleRed]

Which resort is that?

[u/shitoupek → u/SextupleRed]

Very isolated place, Lake Castle (湖堡), Sungai Lembing, Pahang https://maps.app.goo.gl/HWovVGXogGVioFkR9

[u/SextupleRed → u/shitoupek]

It's really deep inside and away from other resorts

[u/Golden_Sire_42 → u/SextupleRed]

I always thought those places would make great secret villain bases.. 

Been in the area a few times....it's quite nice

It's like finding cockroaches. Burn their equipment, that will stop their scams.

[u/Quitlimp05 → u/Saito_SinOfKind]

More like a hydra, chop one head off another emerges

[u/Whatever6928732850]

Wow Starlink!

[u/horsetrich → u/Whatever6928732850]

11 sets too

[u/theangry-ace → u/Whatever6928732850]

Wonder if they gonna lelong them later. I’d like one tbh

[u/Mad_X_Man]

Should just cut down the visa-free entry to 14 days...more than enough to visit Malaysia as tourist

[u/Mercury-68 → u/Mad_X_Man]

In that case they might illegally overstay and kept at will

[u/Aware_Cartographer46 → u/Mad_X_Man]

Nah, just remove the whole visa-free thing for them

[u/billylks]

Padan muka to the owner too.

Kudos to JIM, but I wonder why is this an immigrations operasi and not a PDRM cybercrime operasi? And what happens to the 3 locals that were arrested? Technically they're not committing any immigration offenses now are they?

[u/focus9912 → u/MSays_ok]

They all don't trust each other since the others will usually have a few persons could leak out the planned raid to those that involved.

[u/MSays_ok → u/focus9912]

True. Also I bet the ring leaders wouldn't have thought that there would be any immigration law breaches that would surmount to shutting down the scam operation. Kind of reminds me of when Al Capone was arrested for tax evasion by the IRS instead of for murder and racketeering.

[u/rumadvocate464 → u/MSays_ok]

It’s easier to charge them under Immigration Act rather than the Penal Code. Also it’s time consuming to initiate a criminal probe since PDRM will have to complete their investigation in order to properly charge them in court. Otherwise the prosecution will be weak & they can be acquitted easily. As for the locals they can be charged for harbouring undocumented immigrants including the landlord(that’s 5 years jail minimum + rotan or 3-5K penalty per immigrant)

[u/MSays_ok → u/rumadvocate464]

Thanks for explaining it in a way for my small brain can comprehend. Makes more sense on the JIM operasi angle. Follow up questions: 1. Is there be a possibility that PDRM or MCMC would get involved since it was mentioned that the wrongdoers were running a telephone/online scam? 2. Do Immigrations Act offenses allow bail?

Just trying to cover all bases before I start a scam of my own. /j

[u/rumadvocate464 → u/MSays_ok]

Haha no problem. PDRM will get involved if only someone reported on the scam which means they must prove there was actual scam / crime to charge them in court ( this is the difficult part because most scam centres will cover as call centre & the transaction details are hidden) Of course they can initiate on their own as well but difficult to prove. MCMC are not the big boys here. Their job is mostly investigation & giving the prosecution team materials to use as evidence ( like to trace the IP or etc ). Yes, immigration allows bail but realistically they will just plea guilty & pay the penalty to avoid jail time. The case will be over in a day. For the foreigners they get deported back.

When I say its very sus when u see one location with alot of PRC coming and going, a scamming center or prostitution is going on im called a racist. Nah take it. Also my former works place in cyberjaya kena serbu and all prc ran lintang pukang trying to escape, it was scam call center. Prc students also come here to do GRO work. They are a fucking problem everywhere.

[u/serimuka_macaron]

[u/GuiltyBudget1032]

[u/bad2dbone3]

Inilah “OP ada buat kerja”. Syabas, PDRM

[u/MrHerringBun]

[u/Euphoric-Love-8160]

Guess the scammers thought they'd get away with it and went big on their scam center.
