KOTA KINABALU: A syndicate involved in human smuggling was smashed by the Sabah Immigration Dept with the arrest of three suspects and the rescue of nine women in Semporna on the east coast.
State Immigration director Datuk Dr Muhamad Sade Mohamad Amin said the suspects, two men and a woman, are believed to have lured the women with the promise of lucrative jobs in the Middle East. Each woman paid the syndicate up to RM13,000 in service fees for lucrative job placements in the Middle East, especially Jordan and Dubai, he said in a statement on Sunday (July 11).
He said a team of 15 raided two unnumbered houses, one at SK Pekan Semporna and another in Kampung Terusan Hujung Batu on Bum Bum Island, over two days from 11pm on Thursday (July 8) to Friday.
