Bangladeshis with long-term illegal stay detained in Ops Noda
KUALA LUMPUR: Three Bangladeshi men were among eight individuals, aged between 24 and 43, detained during Ops Noda at six entertainment outlets around the federal capital early this morning. Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa said the trio did not possess valid travel documents and are believed to have been living illegally in Malaysia for about eight years. 'This is their third visit to the entertainment outlets as customers,' he said in a statement today. The five others detained in the operation, which began at 2 am, comprised a local man, two Indian nationals, a Pakistani man and an Indonesian woman. Rusdi said all detainees have been handed over to the Dang Wangi District Police Headquarters for further action, with the foreigners being investigated under Section 6(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63 and Regulation 39(b) of the Immigration Regulations 1963. The local man, who manages one of the clubs, is being investigated under Section 55B of the Immigration Act 1959/63. Rusdi added that all six Bollywood-themed outlets operate daily from around 5 pm or 9 pm until 5 am. 'Investigations found that most patrons were Indian and Bangladeshi nationals, while workers earned an estimated monthly income of between RM1,800 and RM2,000,' he said, adding that all outlets held valid operating licences.

7 Ugandan women arrested in KL prostitution sweep
KUALA LUMPUR: Seven Ugandan women were detained yesterday on suspicion of soliciting for prostitution around Jalan Nagasari and Jalan Changkat. They were arrested during an Ops Noda raid by the KL Strike Force team, comprising officers from the Kuala Lumpur police D7 Division (Secret Societies, Gambling and Vice), the Immigration Department, and Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL). Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa said all seven women were believed to be involved in prostitution. "These women were found to be targeting foreign male passers-by along the sidewalks of Jalan Nagasari and Jalan Changkat. "They allegedly offered sexual services for a fee of between RM150 and RM200 per client," he said in a statement today. Rusdi said 33 individuals were screened during the operation, which ran from 11pm to 4am. Those checked included seven Ugandan women, nine Bangladeshi men, four Indonesian women, and 12 locals. He said the women arrested were aged between 25 and 42. The raiding team also seized 12 condoms, two rolls of tissue, and RM450 in cash, believed to be proceeds from illicit activities. "All detainees have been handed over to the relevant district Criminal Investigation Department. "During the same operation, DBKL issued one compound notice and carried out five seizures. "The case is being investigated under Section 372B of the Penal Code (for prostitution-related offences), Section 6(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63 (for not possessing valid documents), and Section 20(1)(b) of the Business By-Laws," he said.
