"Under Op Benteng, the police mounted 62 roadblocks and nine other roadblocks were set up by the Malaysian Border Security Agency (Aksem).

"The government will take stern action against those who try to infiltrate our borders illegally and we will continue to tighten border control as well as plug 'rat lanes'," he said.
