It is mostly Bangladeshis having fake travel papers

PETALING JAYA: Bangladeshis top the list of foreign nationals found to be using fake passports and travel documents.

KL International Airport Immigration director Datuk Mohd Zulfikar Ahmad (pic) said those seeking to work as labourers from source countries were using new tactics to enter Malaysia since the Government announced an intake freeze.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had announced on Saturday that Malaysia would close its doors to new foreign workers, including the 1.5 million Bangladeshi workers scheduled to be brought in over the next few years.

Last Wednesday, six Bangladeshi nationals arrived at the KLIA using fake travel visas.

Less than 24 hours later, three Indian nationals, all women, were detained with fake visas at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport2 (KLIA2).

Mohd Zulfikar said investigations confirmed that all the Bangladeshis intended to work here illegally while the Indian women wanted to be hired as domestic maids.

“They were using real passports but false visas which are easier to fake,” he said.

All nine have been detained for using falsified travel documents.

Mohd Zulfikar said security at KLIA and KLIA2 had been stepped up through the use of face detection cameras and biometric system.-thestar
