Malaysian immigration authorities detained 101 foreign workers, including 86 Bangladeshi nationals, during a late-night raid on a popular Middle Eastern restaurant in Kuala Lumpur’s Bukit Bintang district. The operation, conducted around 11:10 p.m. on Tuesday, targeted a five-story building following allegations that undocumented foreign workers were employed there without valid permits. Wan Mohammad Saupi Wan Yusuf, director of Kuala Lumpur Immigration, confirmed that documents of 111 migrants and six local staff were examined. Among those detained were 86 Bangladeshis, 12 Syrians, and two Indonesians, along with the local restaurant manager. Officials stated that some workers held permits for other sectors—such as construction, retail, cleaning, or factory work—but not for restaurant employment. Authorities said the detainees, aged between 21 and 40, are being held for further investigation under Malaysia’s immigration laws. The raid underscores ongoing enforcement efforts against illegal employment practices in the hospitality sector, which has seen increased scrutiny amid labor policy reforms.
