An exclusive investigation has revealed that the 'counter-setting' syndicate continues to operate actively at the Johor border and Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), arranging the entry of foreigners into Malaysia before their departure from the country. This activity persists despite a crackdown by the Home Ministry.

The syndicate is believed to facilitate illegal immigration by coordinating the movement of individuals through the southern border in Johor, then onward to KLIA for international travel. Sources indicate that the operation involves systematic evasion of immigration controls.

The Home Ministry had previously announced enhanced surveillance and enforcement measures to dismantle such networks. However, the syndicate appears to have adapted, maintaining its activities in these key transit points.

Authorities have not yet issued a formal response to the latest findings. The investigation underscores ongoing challenges in securing Malaysia's borders against organized immigration crime.
