Malaysian Police Arrest Two Chinese Nationals Suspected of Scam Activities

Malaysian authorities have detained two undocumented Chinese nationals suspected of engaging in scam activities. The arrests were made by the General Operations Force (PGA) during an early morning raid in a jungle area in Kampung Siram, Jeram Perdah.

The two men, aged 32 and 34, were apprehended at 4:30 AM. During the operation, officers seized 11 mobile phones, 142 foreign SIM cards, and two flash drives. The total estimated value of the confiscated items is RM48,040.

Senior Assistant Commissioner Ahmad Radzi Hussian, Commander of the PGA's Southeast Brigade, stated that the quantity of mobile phones and SIM cards found in the suspects' possession strongly suggests their involvement in scam operations. However, further interrogation was hampered because neither suspect could speak Malay or English.

Initial checks revealed that both individuals failed to produce any valid travel documents for entry into Malaysia. The case is being investigated under Section 6(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63.

Based on the quantity of mobile phones and SIM cards in the possession of the two suspects, we do not rule out the possibility that they are believed to be involved with 'scammers'.
