The syndicate, which operated at four-star hotels here and Subang Jaya, used the WeChat application to advertise the "services" of women from multiple countries, including Mongolia, Uzbekistan, China and Indonesia. Immigration department director-general Datuk Seri Mustafar Ali said enforcement officers raided a hotel each in Petaling Jaya and Subang Jaya on Friday and Saturday Sept 14 and 15 following intelligence gathered on the syndicate. They charged between RM and RM for 45 minutes of sex.
In the first raid in Petaling Jaya, enforcement officers arrested 14 women, including nine from Mongolia as well as two Malaysian men, believed to be their pimps, he added. Mustafar said 12 women, including four from Mongolia and three from China were arrested in Subang Jaya along with two Malaysian men and a Bangladeshi man. Mustafar urged anyone with information on illegal activities to contact the department as soon as possible.
