SEPANG: Two foreigners attempting to leave the country via Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 2 have been nabbed after authorities discovered they had no official entry records.
The Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) said the two men, aged in their 30s and 40s, are believed to be from India and China.
“They were detained at around 5pm on Sunday (Aug 17) while undergoing immigration checks at the departure hall.
“The officers became suspicious when they noticed questionable security stamps on the men’s passports.
“Further verification via the MyIMMs system revealed that there were no records of their entry or exit into Malaysia, despite the passports showing entry stamps from the Bukit Kayu Hitam CIQS (Customs, Immigration, Quarantine and Security) complex in Kedah and the Sultan Abu Bakar CIQS in Tanjung Kupang, Johor,” AKPS said in a statement on Monday (Aug 18), adding that both individuals were arrested on suspicion of Immigration Act 1959/63 offences.
“They have been placed at the KLIA2 immigration depot before being handed over to the Selangor Immigration enforcement unit for further investigation.
