Shah Alam Couple Busted for Running Illegal Maid Agency from Home
Blog Article
On 16 May 2025, the Immigration Department conducted a raid on a property in Shah Alam, Selangor, following an anonymous tip-off. The enforcement team arrested a married couple—bearing the honorific titles Datuk and Datin, aged 66 and 56—who were alleged to be operating an illegal maid agency and recruitment agency from their home.
Investigators found 13 Indonesian women, aged between 22 and 47, living in the couple’s house. The women had entered Malaysia on social visit passes (tourist visas) and were supplied as domestic workers and cleaners through this illicit maid agency jas.uitm.edu.my.
Authorities suspect the couple was working closely with an agent in Indonesia to facilitate the illegal entry and deployment of these domestic workers. Each maid was charged an upfront fee of RM 3,500–4,500, which was deducted from their monthly salaries.
The couple now faces charges under Section 55E of the Immigration Act 1959/63 for allowing illegal immigrants to enter or remain at premises owned or managed by them. Meanwhile, the Indonesian women are being held for violations under the Immigration Act and Regulations of 1963 freemalaysiatoday.com.
Plans are underway to refer this case to the Labour Department under the Ministry of Human Resources, as the operation functioned as a recruitment agency without a valid license weirdkaya.com. The Immigration Department emphasized that they are closely monitoring similar activities advertised on social media and urged the public to ensure they engage only with approved, licensed maid agencies and recruitment agencies.
