The group, comprising 18 men and eight women, was rescued in a raid last Friday by officers from the Criminal Investigation Department in Deli Serdang. 19 May 2025 02:49pm Vehicles stuck in traffic during the evening rush hour in Jakarta's business centre on Nov 13, 2024, while most workers reside on the outskirts of the city. - (Photo by BAY ISMOYO / AFP) JAKARTA - Police in Indonesia's North Sumatra province have foiled an attempt to traffic 26 undocumented workers to Malaysia and arrested three suspected traffickers, authorities said. The group, comprising 18 men and eight women, was rescued in a raid last Friday by officers from the Criminal Investigation Department (Bareskrim) in Deli Serdang. "The three suspects will be detained for the next 20 days," the department's director Commissioner Sumaryono said in a statement. Preliminary investigations revealed the workers had been promised employment as domestic helpers, factory workers and plantation labourers, with a promised monthly wage of RM1,500 (around 5.7 million rupiah). The migrants hailed from several provinces, including 12 from East Nusa Tenggara, seven from Aceh, two each from West Nusa Tenggara and North Sumatra, and one each from Central Java, East Java and Riau. "Each of them paid five million rupiah to the syndicate. The plan was to smuggle them to Malaysia by barge," Sumaryono said. Before their planned departure, the group had been temporarily housed in Tumpatan village, Batang Kuis sub-district, after arriving from their home regions. The 26 individuals have since been handed over to the North Sumatra branch of the Indonesian Migrant Worker Protection Agency (BP3MI). The three suspects are being investigated under Indonesia's 2007 anti-human trafficking law and the 2017 law on migrant worker protection, and face up to 10 years in prison if convicted. - BERNAMA More Like This

[UPDATED] PSM duo quizzed over LGBT-linked event
KUALA LUMPUR: Police recorded statements from two Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) members in connection with an event linked to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) issues. Federal police Criminal Investigation Department (CID) director Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain confirmed this when contacted today. "Both individuals were called in to have their statements recorded this afternoon by the Classified Criminal Investigation Unit (USJT). "The statements were taken to assist in the investigation of a case related to a post about the organisation of the Pride Care LGBT gathering," he said. It was reported that a total of 188 police reports had been lodged concerning allegations of a programme related to LGBT issues, said to have been organised by the youth wing of a political party in Petaling Jaya. The reports were filed by various parties nationwide after the issue went viral last week. Previously, Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said police had launched an investigation following a social media post regarding a planned programme, believed to be scheduled for June 21 at an undisclosed location in Petaling Jaya. According to police, the programme is believed to have provoked public sensitivity and violated national laws, which do not recognise any form of LGBT practice. The case is currently being investigated under Section 298A of the Penal Code, for actions likely to disturb public harmony by insulting or degrading religion, and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, for the improper use of network services.
