Malaysian immigration warns against fake agents offering services
He warned the public against falling for fraudulent offers on social media, particularly those promising 'backdoor' immigration solutions. 'JIM will not compromise and will continue to monitor and investigate social media accounts involved in these scams,' he said in a statement.
Zakaria highlighted concerns over social media accounts offering services such as removing blacklist status from JIM's system and processing applications for the non-existent Manpower Recalibration Programme for foreigners, including illegal immigrants. Investigations revealed these accounts charge fees for their fraudulent services.
'This activity is confirmed as a form of fraud and an attempt to deceive the public by involving the Immigration Department to make illegal profits,' he said.
The MADANI government, through the Home Ministry and JIM, remains committed to strengthening enforcement against such illegal activities to maintain public trust in Malaysia's immigration system.

Immigration busts syndicate exploiting senior citizens for fake marriages
KUALA LUMPUR: A syndicate that exploited senior citizens for marriage arrangements with foreigners has been dismantled by the Immigration Department following a special operation conducted in Putrajaya last Thursday. Its director-general, Datuk Zakaria Shaaban, said the operation, which began at 9.19am, was carried out following two weeks of intelligence gathering by the Intelligence and Special Operations Division based at Immigration headquarters in Putrajaya. He said five Malaysian men, aged between 30 and 66, were arrested during the raid. "Four of them are believed to be the main masterminds of the syndicate, while one acted as an intermediary," he said in a statement today. Among the items seized during the operation were six Malaysian passports, 22 Chinese passports, seven Bangladeshi passports, three Indonesian passports, two Vietnamese passports, one Myanmar passport, and one Macau passport. Also confiscated were a laptop, two printers, two backpacks, RM3,070 in cash, and two vehicles, a Perodua Bezza and a Honda CR-V, believed to have been used by the syndicate. "In addition, 26 folders containing documents from the department and the National Registration Department (JPN) were also seized," he added. Zakaria said the syndicate is believed to have been offering immigration-related services, such as applications under the category of "foreign spouse of a Malaysian citizen", as well as JPN applications for marriages between Malaysians and foreign nationals. The syndicate is believed to have been in operation for about a year. "Its modus operandi involved targeting local senior citizens in the Klang Valley who were seeking to marry foreign nationals, charging between RM50 and RM500 for each application," he said. All five suspects were detained on suspicion of committing offences under the Passport Act 1966 and were taken to the Immigration Office in Putrajaya for further action. Zakaria added that the department remains committed to strengthening enforcement efforts in line with the Madani Government's emphasis on integrity in governance and national security.

Immigration busts marriage-for-visa syndicate after raids in Putrajaya
KUALA LUMPUR: A marriage-for-visa syndicate targeting senior citizens was busted with the arrest of five men, including the masterminds. Immigration department officers conducted the raids in Putrajaya at about 9.19am on Thursday (July 3). Director-general Datuk Zakaria Shaaban said the raiding team detained five local men aged between 30 and 66 years old. "Four of them are suspected to be the main masterminds while the fifth individual is believed to be acting as a middleman. "Six Malaysian passports, 22 Chinese passports, seven from Bangladesh, three from Indonesia, two from Vietnam, and one each from Myanmar and Macau were seized. "Among other items seized were a laptop, two printers, 26 folders containing Immigration and National Registration Department (NRD) documents, two backpacks, two vehicles and RM3,070 in cash believed to be proceeds from the syndicate's operation," he said in a statement on Saturday (July 5). The syndicate is believed to have offered illicit immigration services, particularly for applications under the "Malaysian citizen's wife" category, as well as forged NRD documents for marriages between Malaysian citizens and foreign nationals, Zakaria said. "Investigations revealed that their primary targets were elderly local men in the Klang Valley looking to marry foreign women. "The syndicate charged between RM50 to RM500 per application. We believe the syndicate has been operating for about a year," he said.

Immigration Department busts marriage-for-visa syndicate exploiting seniors
PUTRAJAYA: A syndicate offering fake marriage services to foreigners under the guise of immigration applications has been dismantled by the Immigration Department following an operation in Putrajaya on July 3. The operation, carried out at 9.19am by officers from the Intelligence and Special Operations Division of the Putrajaya Immigration Headquarters, led to the arrest of five local men aged between 30 and 66. Four of them were believed to be the main perpetrators, including a suspected syndicate leader and a middleman. Authorities seized 46 passports from various countries, including Malaysia (6), China (22), Bangladesh (7), and several others. Other confiscated items included forged documents, 66 folders of Immigration and National Registration Department records, computers, printers, and over RM3,000 in cash. Two vehicles were also seized. The syndicate allegedly targeted elderly Malaysian men, arranging for them to act as 'husbands' in fake marriages with foreign nationals, in exchange for payment. These fraudulent marriages were then used to facilitate long-term visa applications under immigration categories such as 'spouse of citizen' and 'family reunion.' Victims were recruited from Klang Valley and nearby areas. Foreign clients paid syndicate members between RM50 and RM500 per session, with operations believed to have run for over a year. All five suspects are being investigated under Section 12(1)(f) of the Passport Act 1966 and have been brought to the Putrajaya Immigration Office for further action. The statement was issued by Immigration Director-General Dato' Zakaria Shaaban via Facebook. He said the Immigration Department will continue to enhance enforcement efforts to curb any activities that breach national laws and threaten public security.
