The Immigration Department will start freezing the assets of employers who hire and protect illegal foreign workers from next month (October 2016).

datuk_mustafar_aliIts Director-General Datuk Seri Mustafar Ali (pic) said that there is a provision under Section 56(1) of the Immigration Act to freeze assets and bank accounts of employers, however, it has not been fully enforced.

“We don’t want the public to get shocked when we finally take this measure come October this year. It’s not a new thing.

“We hope the media can relay the message to the public so that we can create awareness, as well as inform employers of the consequences they face when they protect their illegal foreign workers,” he said at a press conference here on Tuesday.

Mustafar said the department has also discussed the matter with legal advisers.

“The department is giving employers until the end of this month to sort everything – including their workers’ travel documents, visas and permits,” he said.

On a separate matter, Mustafar said the department would consult with the National Higher Education Fund Corporation, Inland Revenue Board and Malaysian Insolvency Department to help solve the issue of blacklisted Malaysian travellers.

“We would like to suggest to these agencies to come up with a 24-hour help desk at the airport so that they are accessible to the public at all times.

“Although the Immigration Department is reachable at all times, the department is only a gatekeeper and all orders must come from these agencies,” he said.

We do not possess any authority or expertise to solve their issues. “Through this, we hope amicable solutions can be reached and the public’s travel plans would not be disrupted,” he added.

ACP Zainol said the suspect would meet the victims near the Putrajaya Immigration office or in Bukit Bintang to collect the money and disappear.

“We believe the suspect has been active for the past two years,” he told a press conference on Friday.

ACP Zainol said the suspect was arrested about 24 years ago for 10 similar cases and sentenced to a year in prison.

He urged the victims to lodge reports.

In a separate case, ACP Zainol said police arrested four suspects, including a woman, after a Bangladesh national was robbed.

He said the victim was walking along Jalan Silang at about 10am on May 31 when four suspects approached him.

One of the suspects held the victim by his shirt and the others took RM500 and his handphone from his pockets.

ACP Zainol said after receiving a report from the victim, police managed to arrest the four suspects, aged in their 20s and 30s, some 45 minutes later in Pasar Seni.

He said the suspects have previous criminal records for robberies and drugs.
