The Immigration Department (JIM) apprehended seven Indonesian nationals in connection with an illegal beauty treatment enterprise that allegedly generated substantial monthly revenues through unregistered services. The raid, conducted in Putrajaya, revealed the scale of the unauthorized operation, which sources indicate was producing approximately RM50,000 in monthly income.
The detained individuals are believed to have been operating the beauty treatment services without proper licensing or work permits, circumventing Malaysia's regulatory requirements for such commercial activities. Immigration officials have intensified enforcement actions targeting illegal employment and unlicensed business operations in recent months.
The case underscores ongoing concerns about foreign nationals engaging in undocumented work in Malaysia's services sector. Authorities have indicated that investigations into the operation are continuing to determine the full extent of the unlicensed activities and identify any additional individuals involved.
The apprehended Indonesians are expected to face immigration violations, with procedures set to commence for their deportation pending completion of investigations. JIM has reiterated its commitment to combating illegal employment and protecting Malaysia's labor market from unregulated foreign workers.
