"They were detained on suspicion of not having any valid documents and misusing documents issued by the Immigration," said Malaysia's Immigration director-general Datuk Khairul Dzaimee Daud.
He remarked that the Recalibration Plan for Illegal Immigrants programme which ends on 31 December, would not be extended.
"For employers who register their employees in the portal (by the end of December), even though the PLKS has not been issued (and) is under process (after that), enforcement action will not be imposed on them," he said, urging employers to make full use of the facility.
