BEIJING: Malaysia has deported 29 Chinese nationals for their suspected involvement in terrorist activities and ties to the Islamic State (IS). Zahid, who is also Home Minister, said police identified the terror suspects based on biometrics data provided by their Chinese counterparts. “These suspects are suspected IS militants who came to Malaysia via neighbouring countries, using fake passports.”On a separate matter, Zahid said Malaysia has deported 416 Chinese nationals for their involvement in the so-called Macau Scam. Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun, who was present, said the Macau scam victims, comprising both Malaysians and Chinese nationals, lost RM500 million in total. The Chinese government, he said, has also offered additional equipment to strengthen Malaysia’s Counter Messaging Centre (CMC) to track down those involved in terror activities.
