The latest arrest involved a cook who was nabbed several days ago.
A Malaysian Ministry of Home Affairs’ official said the man, who was in his 30s, had allegedly removed the barrier at a closed immigration booth and entered the country during peak hour.
The latest arrest involved a cook who was nabbed several days ago after he entered the country without scanning his passport. “We have also detected several others who have committed similar offences,” the official said, adding that more arrests are expected soon. A few months ago, at least three other motorcyclists were nabbed for damaging the M-Bike automated clearance system, including plastering chewing gum onto the thumbprint area when they were scanning their passports or hitting and damaging the LCD screen, he added.
