GEORGE TOWN: The activity of a company in hiring illegals and hiding them was uncovered in a raid by Immigration officers a firm handling solid wastes in Batu Maung, near here yesterday.
Ten people with expired documents were found in a kongsi house occupied by 22 Bangladeshis, Penang Immigration director Muhamad Husni Mahmud said.
The men were not qualified for behind rehired under an amnesty programme for those with expired work papers. ‘’The employer should have sent them back last year but did not do so but continue to hire them to work in Malaysia,’’ he said here today.
Muhamad Husni said the department would investigate the company and the owners of the premises who hired and housed them at the kongsi house so that legal action could be taken against them.
He said that all the foreign nationals detained were 28 to 40 years old and they were sent to the Juru Immigration Depot for further investigation and action. - FMT
