Klang cafeteria doubles as GRO hub, 12 foreigners arrested in raid
KLANG: The operations of a premises disguised as a cafeteria but secretly offering the services of foreign guest relation officers (GRO) were exposed during a raid here last night. Immigration Department Deputy Director-General (Operations) Jafri Embok Taha said 12 women suspected to be foreign GROs were detained in the Op Gegar raid at 6pm. Initial investigations revealed that the premises also functioned as a transit point for these women to offer sexual services to interested customers. He said the premises opened as early as 2pm, believed to be part of the modus operandi used by the owner to avoid detection by the authorities. "During the raid, there were attempts to flee. Some foreigners even pretended to be locals to confuse the enforcement team. "There were also provocations from locals claiming to be boyfriends or employers of the GROs, merely to mislead the enforcement officers," he added. The raid was conducted by the Selangor Immigration Intelligence and Special Operations Unit following intelligence work based on public complaints. According to information received, Jafri said customers seeking sexual services were charged between RM800 and RM1,200 for the acts. He added that GROs who did not engage in sexual services were free to mingle with customers at the premises, which also offered karaoke facilities. "The foreign nationals detained include nine Vietnamese women, one Indonesian woman, one Myanmar woman, and one Myanmar man, all aged between 19 and 40. "They have been held at the Semenyih Immigration Depot to assist investigations under Section 6(1)(c) and Section 15(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63," he said.

Police bust major heroin syndicate in northern Malaysia, RM4.13m drugs seized
SHAH ALAM: Police have dismantled a heroin base drug distribution network operating in northern Malaysia after arresting three men in coordinated raids across the Klang Valley and Penang. The operation, led by Bukit Aman's Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID), uncovered 47.526 kg of heroin base and 920 grams of heroin worth RM4.13 million. Selangor Police Chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan confirmed the arrests on July 12, following raids in Subang Jaya, Seri Kembangan, and Permatang Pauh. The first suspect was detained in USJ 19/4, Subang Jaya, where officers found 14.52 kg of heroin base and 920 grams of heroin hidden in a car compartment. A second raid in Seri Kembangan led to the seizure of 22.55 kg of heroin base, while a third operation in Permatang Pauh uncovered 7.456 kg of the drug. The Penang suspect is believed to be the syndicate's mastermind, sourcing heroin from a neighbouring country before distributing it via two transporters, who earned RM4,000 per trip. Hussein described heroin base as the 'mother of drugs,' explaining its role as a raw material processed into higher-grade narcotics. The suspects face charges under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, with remands spanning five to six days. - Bernama
