KUALA LUMPUR: The Immigration Department today detained several foreigners in the area around the Kuala Lumpur Wholesale Market, or better known as the Selayang Wholesale Market.
The raid began at 9 am, also involving personnel from the police, the armed forces and the Health Ministry.
However, reporters who had been waiting at the location since morning, were not allowed to take photographs or make video recordings.
Bernama found that several police and Immigration Department trucks left the area at around 11.30 am, believed to be ferrying illegal immigrants to a temporary detention depot.
Immigration director-general Datuk Khairul Dzaimee Daud when contacted said the department will issue a statement soon.
Meanwhile, Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Datuk Seri Mazlan Lazim said police were present at the location to assist the Immigration Department in the operations. – May 11, 2020, Bernama
