Sindiket paksa 7 wanita warga India jadi pekerja seks tumpas

Sindiket paksa 7 wanita warga India jadi pekerja seks tumpas

KUALA LUMPUR – Hasrat tujuh wanita warga India mencari rezeki di negara ini bertukar derita apabila mereka bukan sahaja dipaksa menjadi pekerja seks malah turut dipukul dan diugut jika enggan menurut arahan sindiket.Mangsa berusia antara 25 hingga 40 tahun itu pada awalnya dijanjikan pekerjaan sebagai pembantu rumah, namun sebaik tiba di negara ini mereka dikurung dan dipaksa melayan pelanggan di sebuah hotel di Jalan Ampang.Kesemua mereka kemudian diselamatkan menerusi Op Pintas (Eksploitasi Seks) dijalankan Bahagian D3 Antipemerdagangan Orang dan Antipenyeludupan Migran (ATIPSOM), Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah (JSJ) Bukit Aman pada 30 September lalu kira-kira jam 1 pagi.Pengarah Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Bukit Aman, Datuk M Kumar berkata, siasatan awal mendapati kesemua mangsa dikawal ketat oleh ahli sindiket dan tidak dibenarkan keluar dari premis tempat mereka dikurung."Mangsa bukan sahaja dieksploitasi untuk tujuan seks, malah ada yang dipukul dan diugut sekiranya enggan mematuhi arahan sindiket."Mereka sentiasa diawasi bagi mengelak daripada melarikan diri," katanya dalam kenyataan pada Sabtu.Kumar berkata, dalam serbuan itu polis turut menahan 12 individu dipercayai ahli sindiket, terdiri daripada dua lelaki tempatan berumur 34 dan 63 tahun serta enam lelaki dan empat wanita warga India berusia antara 21 hingga 58 tahun."Semua suspek ini dipercayai berperanan merekrut, mengawal dan menguruskan kegiatan pelacuran mangsa yang diperdaya."Siasatan lanjut juga mendapati salah seorang suspek merupakan anggota polis yang disyaki terlibat secara langsung," katanya.Menurutnya, selepas siasatan lengkap, kertas siasatan dirujuk kepada Jabatan Peguam Negara pada 16 Oktober lalu."Lima individu termasuk anggota polis berkenaan telah dituduh di bawah Seksyen 12 Akta Antipemerdagangan Orang dan Antipenyeludupan Migran 2007 (ATIPSOM 2007)."Selain itu, lima lagi warga asing turut dituduh di bawah Seksyen 6(1)(C) Akta Imigresen 1959/63 kerana tidak memiliki dokumen perjalanan sah" katanya.Beliau berkata, kesemua tangkapan telah dituduh di Mahkamah Sesyen Jenayah 9, Kompleks Mahkamah Jalan Duta, Kuala Lumpur pada Jumaat."PDRM tidak akan berkompromi dengan mana-mana individu termasuk anggota penguat kuasa yang bersubahat dalam jenayah kejam ini."Tindakan tegas akan diambil tanpa mengira pangkat atau kedudukan," katanya.Tambahnya, orang ramai diminta menyalurkan maklumat berkaitan aktiviti pemerdagangan orang atau eksploitasi seks kepada polis bagi membantu siasatan."Kerjasama orang awam amat penting bagi memastikan mangsa yang masih terperangkap dalam sindiket seperti ini dapat diselamatkan segera."Jenayah pemerdagangan orang kini semakin licik apabila sindiket menggunakan pelbagai helah termasuk menawarkan pekerjaan bergaji lumayan bagi memperdaya mangsa sebelum dipaksa menjadi pekerja seks," katanya.Tambahya, kejayaan operasi kali ini bukan sahaja menyelamatkan mangsa daripada terus dieksploitasi, malah turut membongkar rangkaian sindiket yang dipercayai beroperasi secara tersusun di sekitar ibu negara."PDRM akan terus memperhebatkan Op Pintas di seluruh negara bagi menumpaskan kumpulan yang memperdagangkan manusia untuk keuntungan haram," katanya

AKPS strengthens border management, builds agency identity

AKPS strengthens border management, builds agency identity

PUTRAJAYA : It has been a year since Parliament passed the Border Control and Protection Agency Act, paving the way for the establishment of the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) under the Home Ministry. AKPS director-general Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain said the past year had not merely been an administrative journey, but also a process of fostering a new spirit and discipline among the agency’s personnel, who are now stationed at 22 of the country’s main entry points. He said AKPS is currently in a crucial phase of strengthening border management through improvements in its organisational structure, operational capabilities and the professionalism of officers on the ground. “The AKPS Act was passed and approved on Oct 17 last year, and we began full operations on Jan 1, 2025, through a pilot project in Rantau Panjang, Kelantan,” he said at the AKPS’ first anniversary celebration at the Home Ministry Complex here yesterday. Mohd Shuhaily said the agency currently has 6,215 officers, including 1,053 customs officers of various grades who were newly absorbed to carry out inspection duties at the country’s entry points. However, all positions are still in the process of finalising a permanent service scheme, in collaboration with the Public Service Department (PSD). “These officers are still seconded from their respective parent agencies, including the Immigration Department, Royal Malaysian Customs Department, Department of Quarantine and Inspection Services Malaysia (MAQIS) and the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan). I am responsible for overseeing daily operations at the country’s entry points,” he said, acknowledging that while the unification process was challenging, it had proceeded smoothly. In Budget 2026, the government allocated positions to recruit 220 Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) veterans into the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS), a move that Mohd Shuhaily described as an effort to ‘inject a spirit of defence and security’ into the agency. “When the announcement was made, I was personally surprised by the overwhelming response. Many MAF veterans, including those who held the ranks of Colonel and Major, came directly to the office to submit their resumes. This shows that the AKPS’s image is well received among MAF veterans,” he said He said the selection of MAF veterans was not only due to their military experience, but also because of their strong discipline and patriotic spirit, which required no further retraining. Apart from strengthening operations at the front line, Mohd Shuhaily said the recruitment move would also help reduce operating costs, as the selected veterans would be stationed near their areas of assignment, thereby saving on accommodation and transportation expenses. Mohd Shuhaily added that AKPS is also focusing on strengthening its technological capabilities to enhance border management efficiency, including the use of autogate systems and artificial intelligence (AI)-based cargo scanners. In addition, Mohd Shuhaily said he is focused on cultivating the ‘spirit of AKPS’ to ensure that all personnel understand the agency’s true purpose and role in safeguarding the nation’s borders. “I want AKPS to be a dignified agency, and our mission is to build a reputable name that commands respect,” he said, adding that comprehensive training programmes are being developed to standardise the agency’s work culture and embody the ‘spirit of AKPS’. He acknowledged that the agency faced initial challenges, particularly in inter-agency coordination and human resource limitations, but expressed gratitude for the dedication shown by officers who continued to perform their duties with unwavering commitment. “At headquarters, we only have 80 officers... directors write their own papers, drive their own cars and conduct their own research. Yet, they carry out their tasks with extraordinary enthusiasm,” he said. Recalling his first 100 days at AKPS, Mohd Shuhaily likened the restructuring process to a ‘merger and acquisition’ - one that demanded patience, cultural adaptation and a clear sense of direction. “I understand the sentiments of the original agencies when their officers are transferred to a new organisation - that is only natural. However, it is my responsibility to build confidence through clear leadership and a clear sense of direction,” he said. Mohd Shuhaily said he had also sought the assistance of the Inspector-General of Police to assign experienced officers to strengthen discipline and security, particularly at high-risk entry points such as Rantau Panjang, Port Klang, and several locations in Sabah and Sarawak. “I believe there are certain entry points that require PDRM leadership, as they possess critical operational expertise that can help achieve faster and more effective outcomes,” he said, adding that cooperation with other security agencies, including the MAF and the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), will continue to be enhanced. Ahead of Visit Malaysia 2026, Mohd Shuhaily said AKPS is expected to face additional challenges at major airports such as the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), which is currently undergoing upgrades. However, he hoped the public would understand the importance of maintaining strict security procedures. “In other countries, even before landing, travellers are already thinking about whether they need to make a declaration. I want that same sense of respect - and healthy caution - for border laws to exist in Malaysia,” he said. Expressing his hopes for the agency’s future, Mohd Shuhaily said he wants AKPS to grow into a strong and respected institution. “I want to leave this post without burdens or negativity. I want AKPS to be remembered as a dignified, respected agency with a big heart,” he said. -- BERNAMA

Hiker Mustaqeem Mansor buried in Penaga after tragic death

Hiker Mustaqeem Mansor buried in Penaga after tragic death

KEPALA BATAS : The remains of Mustaqeem Mansor, the hiker who was found dead at the summit of Gunung Liang Barat in Perak, were laid to rest at the Muslim Cemetery of Masjid Jamek Nurussaadah Lahar Tabut in Penaga here after Subuh (dawn) prayers today. The body of Mustaqeem, 34, which underwent a post-mortem examination at Slim River Hospital last night, was brought to Masjid Jamek Nurussaadah Lahar Tabut here at about 2 am. The remains were placed in a designated room to allow relatives, friends and members of the public to pay their last respects before the funeral prayers and burial took place. More than 200 family members, friends and locals attended the funeral prayers and burial. A sombre atmosphere filled the ceremony, and Mustaqeem’s wife, Nur Faratin Mohd Othman, 31, was seen weeping and visibly grief-stricken throughout the burial. Mustaqeem’s younger brother, Muzammeer Mansor, 33, expressed the family’s deepest gratitude to all parties involved from the start of the search operation until the burial this morning. He said the family was still in shock and deeply saddened by the sudden loss of his brother. Mustaqeem was found dead at 3.30 pm on Thursday at the summit of Gunung Liang after beginning a climb with 10 friends on Oct 10 from Fraser’s Hill. He was last seen on Oct 14. His body was airlifted from the 1,933-metre summit using a Fire and Rescue Department Air Special Unit (PASKUB) AW189 helicopter at 2.45 pm yesterday. A post-mortem conducted by Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital in Ipoh revealed that he had died from hypothermia. Meanwhile, Mustaqqeem’s mother, Rohani Saad, 65, said that although the family accepts her eldest son’s death as fate, they still feel uneasy with the circumstances surrounding it. She said Mustaqqeem’s friends, who were with him during the climb, told her they had searched for him for more than six hours but could not find him. However, when the Fire and Rescue Department conducted their search, they discovered his body within just three hours at the summit of Gunung Liang. “They said he was right there, at the peak, all along. It’s not that we are questioning Allah’s will... we accept his death as fate. “But what we cannot accept is why he was left there, and no police report or attempts to inform the rescue team were made,” she said. - Bernama
