The syndicate allegedly charged between RM8,000 and RM10,000 for each worker and is believed to have been operating since early this year.

From the original report

The immigration department said the syndicate’s modus operandi involved offering services to obtain temporary employment visit passes (PLKS) believed to have been illegally issued through the immigration department’s foreign worker management system, which was purportedly compromised.

The syndicate is believed to have targeted foreign nationals in the Klang Valley who lacked valid passes or had overstayed, supplying them to employers who needed workers.

This is a brief of a report by another newsroom. The excerpt below is from the original.
