Jabatan Imigresen Tips Off Illegal Immigrants

Years ago we used to joke that every time the Immigration Department  wanted to carry out an operation against the illegal immigrants, they would announce it in the Press. 

This advance notice will then give the illegals sufficient time to go into hiding when the "Operasi" is launched. 

Well, the Immigration Department has once again announced that they are going to launch another operation against the illegal immigrants.  And they are being really detailed. 

Not only the time is given but also the venues have been provided.  All illegal immigrants please take note. If you listen carefully to the Jabatan Imigresen then you can avoid getting caught.   Here is the New Straits Times

Crackdown on illegals starts next month

• PUTRAJAYA: The Home Ministry is launching a large-scale crackdown on illegal immigrants next month.
• Immigration Department, police, National Registration Department, Rela and Civil Defence would be involved in the crackdown.
• "We will launch a massive operation on illegal immigrants nationwide after the Raya festivities 
• focus on places such as entertainment centres, factories, farms and plantations known to employ illegal immigrants.
• several raids conducted at Ramadan bazaars, several traders sold their stall permits to illegal immigrants.

My comments :  So for the benefit of all illegal immigrants, the details of the Immigration raids are summarised as follows:

When : next month (August) after the Hari Raya festivities.  

So all you illegal immigrants please make the necessary preparations ok. If you are illegal hawkers and traders you still have time to finish selling your stock of goods for the festive season. The raids will only begin in August - after everyone has come back from the Cuti Raya.  Once the Hari Raya sales are over you can take all your money and go into hiding for a while.

Where :  entertainment centres, factories, farms and plantations.  

So to all you illegal karaoke girls, massage parlour girls,  illegal factory workers (as well as factory owners) and illegal plantation workers (as well as plantation owners) just get ready ok. Come August there are going to be Immigration raids. So please take the necessary precautions. If you follow the pointers (from the Immigration Department)  you should not get caught.  

Just for your information folks, the illegal traders rarely have bank accounts. They usually carry their cash in their pockets or on their persons. And after all the Hari Raya sales, their pockets will be bulging with cash. The Immigration Department suffers a very high degree of corruption complaints as well.

p.s. By the way I have not been invited for a Buka Puasa with the PM (on the 2nd?) Oh boo hoo hoo. A Blogger who was invited replied that he has better things to do. Ouch!  How things have changed.
