- Penang Immigration officials arrested three foreign women for suspected involvement in prostitution activities. The women were found dressed in anime-style costumes, likely used to attract customers. One of the women allegedly offered a bribe of RM16,000 (approximately $3,600 USD) to the officials in an attempt to avoid arrest.
- The arrests took place during a raid conducted by the Penang Immigration Department at a condominium unit in Penang, Malaysia. The officials acted on intelligence information about suspected prostitution activities occurring at the location.
- The three foreign women, aged between 20 and 30 years old, were arrested and are now being investigated under the Immigration Act 1959/63 for offenses related to prostitution and offering a bribe. The case highlights the ongoing efforts by Malaysian authorities to crack down on illegal sex work and human trafficking activities.
