The Intelligence and Special Operations Division Detained a Suspect Linked to Migrant Smuggling

The Intelligence and Special Operations Division of the Kedah Immigration Department played a direct role in apprehending a 36-year-old man suspected of involvement in migrant smuggling. This individual was detained at the Bukit Kayu Hitam Immigration, Customs, Quarantine and Security (ICQS) Complex. The operation, codenamed Ops Serkap, led to the suspect's arrest while he was present at the complex for immigration-related travel arrangements.
Detention During Ops Serkap

As part of the ongoing Ops Serkap, officers from the Intelligence and Special Operations Division successfully detained the suspect. The detention occurred at the Bukit Kayu Hitam ICQS Complex, a key entry and exit point. The suspect was reportedly present at the complex for matters related to his travel arrangements when he was apprehended by the division's personnel.
Suspected Involvement in Migrant Smuggling

The apprehended 36-year-old individual is believed to be involved in migrant smuggling activities. Following his detention, he was handed over to the Enforcement Unit at the Bukit Kayu Hitam ICQS. Further action will be taken against him under the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act 2007 (ATIPSOM).
Continuation of Prior Investigations

This specific arrest represents a continuation of broader investigations into migrant smuggling operations. It is directly linked to the smuggling of a Chinese national that occurred on March 30. Authorities had previously detained a first suspect on April 24 when that individual entered the country via the Padang Besar ICQS, indicating a sustained effort to dismantle smuggling networks. A remand order for four days, extending until June 29, was granted by the court to facilitate the ongoing investigations.
