KOTA BHARU: Malaysia Border Control Agency (Aksem) personnel nabbed 31 illegal immigrants from Thailand and Myanmar in two instances in Tanah Merah yesterday as they were being transported in tour buses.
They also detained the two Malaysian drivers of the buses in the ‘Op Benteng’ operation against illegal immigrants, Kelantan Aksem commander Rusli Karim said in a statement today.
It could not be immediately ascertained if the illegal immigrants were travelling in tour buses to escape detection now that the government has allowed tourist travel between certain states in tour buses.
