KUCHING (Aug 13): A total of 78 illegal immigrants, including four children, and one local man were detained during an integrated Op Sekat operation against illegal immigrants conducted by Kuching District Police Headquarters (IPD Kuching) on Aug 12.

Kuching district police chief ACP Alexson Naga Chabu said those detained ranged in age from nine months to 56 years. 'In this operation, a total of 78 illegal immigrants and one local man were detained. Their ages ranged from nine months to 56 years. The gender breakdown is 59 adult men, 15 adult women, one boy, and three girls. In terms of nationality, 62 were Indonesians and 16 were Bangladeshis.

Alexson said the coordinated effort aimed to detect, detain, and take legal action against illegal immigrants, as well as to strengthen security and ensure socio-economic sustainability for Malaysians. 'This integrated operation was conducted following several cases of house break-ins and robberies in areas surrounding illegal immigrant settlements, where they were suspected of being involved in these incidents,' he added.

Ex-AG Terrirudin may be subpoenaed over Najib's addendum bid, says lawyer
Published on: Wednesday, August 13, 2025 Published on: Wed, Aug 13, 2025 By: Faisal Asyraf, FMT Text Size: Senior counsel Shafee Abdullah speaking to the media at the Palace of Justice, Putrajaya, after the Federal Court hearing today. PUTRAJAYA: Senior counsel Shafee Abdullah said today former attorney-general Ahmad Terrirudin Salleh could be subpoenaed to testify in Najib Razak's upcoming judicial review hearing on the royal addendum at the High Court. Shafee said they might call several witnesses, including Terrirudin and other officers, to give evidence either through affidavits or in person. 'We have to do a very tight adduction of the facts during the hearing of judicial review,' he told reporters after today's Federal Court ruling, which affirmed the Jan 6 majority decision of the Court of Appeal allowing Najib to adduce additional evidence and ordering the High Court to hear his judicial review application. He said they were considering using discovery and interrogatories in the proceedings. 'We can make requests for discovery, for an immediate show of where the addendum is, and what happened to the addendum that has been delayed for a year and a half. 'We can (also) interrogate the other side to tell us what truly happened, why the addendum has not surfaced for such a long time,' he said. Earlier today, a three-member bench led by Chief Judge of Malaya Hasnah Hashim ruled that Najib could present fresh evidence on the alleged supplementary addendum. Najib is currently in Kajang prison serving the jail sentence meted out for misappropriating RM42 million from SRC International Sdn Bhd. He was initially sentenced to 12 years in jail and fined RM210 million, which he began serving on Aug 23, 2022. However, the Pardons Board reduced his sentence to six years and the fine to RM50 million in January 2024. He later claimed to have learned of the addendum's existence, which purportedly allows him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
