Immigration busts Indonesians making RM50,000 monthly via illegal beauty treatments

The Immigration Department (JIM) conducted a special operation in Shah Alam, Pandan Perdana, and Kepong, detaining seven Indonesian nationals suspected of working as beauty therapists.

The operation, carried out in coordination with the Pharmacy Enforcement Division, uncovered unregistered products and beauty equipment, as well as social media-driven services targeting Indonesians in the Klang Valley.

The detainees are under investigation for immigration violations and breaches of health regulations.

The services reportedly generated substantial monthly income by operating discreetly from rented properties.

PUTRAJAYA, Sept 25 — The Immigration Department (JIM) detained seven Indonesian nationals believed to be working as beauty therapists in a special operation at four locations in Shah Alam, Pandan Perdana and Kepong last Wednesday.

JIM, in a statement today, said those detained comprised one man and six women aged between 19 and 44.

The operation, which began at 12.15 pm, involved personnel from the Intelligence and Special Operations Division of the Immigration Department headquarters in Putrajaya, with the cooperation of the Pharmacy Enforcement Division from the Putrajaya, Selangor and Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory Health Departments.

“Based on public information and a month-long intelligence gathering, the operation team was deployed to the residential premises.

“The team also seized medicines, treatment and beauty equipment, a mobile phone and RM400 cash believed to be proceeds from the activity,” the statement said.

JIM said the group was believed to have offered beauty and aesthetic services, mainly to Indonesians in the Klang Valley, through social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram.

Customers were required to make appointments before receiving the services, which were carried out at rented residential premises to evade detection by the authorities.

The department said the activity was believed to have been operating since last year and could generate up to RM50,000 in monthly income, depending on the number of customers and services provided.

JIM said two women and a man were detained under Section 15(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63, while three women were detained under Section 6(1)(c) of the same Act. Another woman was detained under Regulation 39(b) of the Immigration Regulations 1963.

All seven will also be investigated by the Ministry of Health for alleged offences involving possession of unregistered products under Regulations 7(1) and 30(1) of the Control of Drugs and Cosmetics Regulations 1984. — Bernama

移民局（JIM）在莎阿南、班丹柏达纳和甲洞开展特别行动，拘留了七名涉嫌从事美容师工作的印尼国民。

此次行动与药房执法部门协调进行，查获了未注册的产品和美容设备，以及针对巴生谷地区印尼人的社交媒体驱动型服务。

这些被拘留者因涉嫌违反移民法和卫生条例而正在接受调查。

据报道，这些服务通过在租用的房产中秘密运营，每月产生可观的收入。

布城，9月25日讯——上周三，移民局在莎阿南、班丹柏达纳和甲洞的四个地点开展特别行动，拘留了七名据信从事美容师工作的印尼籍人士。

JIM今天发表声明称，被拘留者包括一名男子和六名女子，年龄在19岁至44岁之间。

此次行动于下午 12 点 15 分开始，由布城移民局总部情报和特别行动部门的人员参与，并得到了布城、雪兰莪和吉隆坡联邦直辖区卫生局药剂执法部门的合作。

“根据公开信息和长达一个月的情报收集，行动小组被部署到住宅区。

声明称：“该小组还查获了药品、治疗和美容设备、一部手机和400令吉现金，据信是该活动的赃物。”

JIM表示，该组织据信通过TikTok和Instagram等社交媒体平台，向巴生谷地区的印尼人提供美容和美学服务。

顾客必须提前预约才能接受服务，服务地点设在租用的住宅内，以躲避当局的检查。

该部门表示，这项活动据信从去年就开始运作，每月可产生高达 5 万令吉的收入，具体取决于客户数量和服务内容。
