31 Malaysians rescued from job scam syndicates in Myanmar
Some 31 Malaysians linked to online scam syndicates in Myawaddy, Myanmar, have been repatriated home and handed over to police to facilitate investigations, Wisma Putra said today.
In a statement, the foreign ministry said the return was facilitated through the Malaysian embassies in Bangkok and Yangon, with the cooperation of authorities in Myanmar and Thailand.
“The Malaysians were among several foreign nationals rescued by the Myanmar authorities during recent operations to combat online scam activities in the Myawaddy area,” a ministry statement said.
The ministry said the victims arrived at the Bukit Kayu Hitam border checkpoint in Kedah at about 6.50pm.
