The Deputy Inspector-General of Police also said that police had identified several Bangladesh nationals who are believed to be involved with the syndicates operating between Bangladesh and Malaysia. “The syndicate there (in Bangladesh) would gather their nationals there while the syndicate here will arrange for them to gain easy entry. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said only a handful were involved with syndicates that used their “immigration friends” to bring in more Bangladeshis into their country. Dr Ahmad Zahid said as part of the ongoing probe, five more people, including two Immigration officers at KLIA, were arrested on Thursday (Dec 15) to assist in investigations. According to reports, four syndicates were behind the smuggling of Bangladeshi workers into the country via KLIA.
