The main objective right now in bringing down human smuggling is to prevent Covid-19 from spreading further so that the MCO may eventually be lifted fully and life can return to some semblance of normalcy. Non-government organisation Tenaganita, which focuses on the rights of women, migrants and refugees, has however explained that most foreign workers in Malaysia do not deliberately seek to enter the country illegally.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador disclosed on June 19 that several police officers and military personnel have been identified as colluding with the human smugglers following an arrest of 18 enforcers in Johor. In a June 10 press conference, Huzir said many of those arrested during the Raya sting were repeat human trafficking offenders. He said it showed the laws used on them were not deterrent enough compared to the rewards they stood to gain from smuggling in people.
