00:00
As of 12 o'clock, we have inspected more or less 1,091 of those who we consider as foreigners
00:20
or those who are suspected, and of those, 602 we have detained because they are suspected
00:29
who have multiple offences.
00:31
Either they have an offence under the Immigration Act,
00:34
which is called Overstay,
00:36
or they do not have the ability to show the correct documents.
00:39
Their journey is either from a working permit,
00:42
or documents such as passports and so on.
00:45
There are 9 countries, from Africa and Southeast Asia.
00:50
Bangladesh is the most suspected,
00:53
more or less 213 men and 1 woman.
00:56
All the detainees today are from the age of 19 to 53,
01:04
consisting of 505 men and 97 women.
01:08
All of them will be detained for the time being,
01:12
at the Semenyih Immigration Depot,
01:14
for a second verification,
01:16
and then awaiting further action.
01:20
Any other questions?
01:23
There is, but we cannot tell you.
01:25
If we do, it will not happen.
01:27
It will be done from time to time,
01:30
as I mentioned,
01:32
we want to see the impact tomorrow,
01:35
after the second verification,
01:37
after we take certain actions,
01:39
get a response from the public here,
01:41
and then we will proceed with the next steps.
01:44
This is to handle some of the perceptions,
01:48
and also the realities in Akalumbi,
01:53
regarding the locality.
01:56
God willing, we will come back,
01:58
with many locations,
02:00
that we will continue to organize.
02:03
But, as I mentioned,
02:05
the success of the activities and operations today,
02:08
was organized from the initial decision we made in April,
02:12
and followed by a comprehensive investigation and investigation.
02:17
There are many reasons why they want to save themselves,
02:20
sometimes they use the term,
02:22
left behind,
02:24
some say they were cheated,
02:26
but those are not the reasons,
02:29
that can be solved on the ground.
02:31
We will do the second verification later,
02:34
and we will also open up opportunities,
02:36
for the owners or employees,
02:38
for their employees to come,
02:40
if there is any documentation,
02:42
confirming that they are good workers,
02:44
or not.
02:45
But, from the whole,
02:47
60% are the ones who were cheated,
02:50
and maybe that number will decrease starting tomorrow.
02:52
But, that's what I said,
02:54
we want to see the impact,
02:56
after the second verification process,
02:59
and the next steps.
03:00
How about the employees?
03:03
It depends,
03:04
there are certain flaws,
03:06
and so on.
03:07
Usually,
03:09
I don't know if anyone dares to come this time,
03:13
if the employer has employees,
03:18
or employees who don't have documents,
03:22
they won't dare to come.
03:24
I think they won't dare to come.
