00:30So, we have to work together as a joint venture with the authorities.

00:38As far as I know, until October this year,

00:42the joint venture of JIM and various authorities has managed to seize 47 syndicates,

00:50involving 1,285 arrests of syndicates and foreign visitors without permission.

00:59This is the result of the joint venture and that is the decision.

01:03We seized 47 syndicates.

01:06We also set up checkpoints at the door counters

01:10to make sure that only those who are eligible to enter this country.

01:14Those who are not eligible, we reject them.

01:16Those who are eligible, we reject them.

01:18This means that we issue a notice of not to land.

01:24Until September this year, we issued NTL to 25,214 foreigners.

01:35Those in charge of counter-immigration,

01:39immigration officers,

01:41we increased surveillance and surveillance on them.

01:48We increased patrols.

01:51We patrolled through CCTV cameras in the control room.

01:54We made surprise visits to the counter.

01:59And our officers on duty at the counter,

02:03we did not allow them to bring telecommunications equipment.

02:08Before they were on duty and after they left,

02:12we did a body search on them.

02:17Ladies and gentlemen,

02:19they were not just introduced as NTL at the door.

02:23Immigration also created a special team to conduct patrols

02:29before these explorers went to the counter-immigration.

02:36If this team sensed that they had been here for a long time,

02:415 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours, 8 hours

02:44and they still did not go to the counter,

02:46it means that they were waiting for a sign from the syndicate

02:49to tell them which counter they should go to.

02:53As a result of this team,

02:55until September this year,

02:58we managed to detain 6,694 explorers.

03:04Because their address to come to Malaysia was not there,

03:09their money was not enough, and so on.

03:12As the Immigration Department,

03:14the mistake that clearly follows is this hierarchy issue.

03:19We have taken action against almost 300 of our officers,

03:24our members.

03:26That shows our seriousness in this issue of integrity.
