Kuala Lumpur: Investigations have found that the foreigners arrested last week for involvement in a foreign radical militant movement recruited new members for the Islamic State (IS) from Malaysia's labour sector, specifically the migrant community. Inspector-General of Police Khalid Ismail said they recruited from places such as factories, petrol stations and construction sites.

Khalid said those recruited online would be made leaders of new cells to spread the movement's influence in other areas. 'The organisation attempted to recruit members to fight in Syria, or for IS. They raised funds to be sent to Syria, IS and Bangladesh,' he said. Khalid said the movement raised funds primarily via Touch 'n Go, BCash, and international money exchange services. 'To become a member of the group, they would have to pay RM500 per year and contribute to the cause according to their ability,' he said. On June 27, home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said police had detained 36 foreigners around Selangor and Johor for involvement in a radical militant movement. Khalid said the arrests were made from April 28 to June 21. 'Five people were charged under Chapter 6A of the Penal Code for participating in terrorist organisations, spreading extremist ideologies and raising funds for terrorist activities. 'Fifteen others were handed over to the immigration department for deportation. 'Sixteen are still in police custody, detained under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 for further investigation and prosecution,' he said. * 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?
