賽夫丁:獲營救回國的部分國人 不是被詐騙 是賭博欠阿窿
2023-11-07
(八打靈再也7日訊)內政部長拿督斯里賽夫丁說,警方在海外營救的大馬人中,有些因賭博輸錢或欠大耳窿而無法回國,而他們多數明知是騙局,卻天真以為自己不會墮入騙局。
“這些在海外遇到麻煩的大馬人中,有些人是因為欠下大耳窿巨債、被追債而不能回國。”
他說,政府也把這群人士列為海外打工詐騙案的受害者,出手營救他們。“他們大多數跟打工詐騙無關,但仍需要被營救出來及帶回國。”
賽夫丁昨晚接受第一電視台(TV1)訪問時,就2024年財政預算案的國家團結和安全問題時,這樣表示。
他解釋說,警方是根據與受害者的訪談而確定信息,其中大部份都是明知故犯,天真地以為自己不會成為受害者。
“從一開始,他們知道這是個騙局,但還是想試試(自己的運氣)。他們自願出國賭博,輸錢後向大耳窿借錢,然後被捆綁及面臨各種後果,最後無法返回大馬。
“當他們聯系我們駐相關國家的大使館或最高專員署並報警後,我們就采取行動營救他們。”
他說,這群人與詐騙無關,但執法當局在執行任務時,會把他們也當作詐騙受害者來營救。
獲救回國又要冒險出國
賽夫丁補充,還有另一群被困在海外的大馬人是真正的詐騙案受害者,他們從一開始就被欺騙了。
他感嘆道,盡管該部營救他們回國,但有些人仍然冒險再次出國。
他透露,救援行動是通過各種措施進行的,而外交部通常會尋求相關國家大使館或最高專員署的幫助。
他說,另一種做法是,警方將此類案件提交給東盟刑警(ASEANAPOL),以尋求他們的幫助。
賽夫丁上周日曾表示,在國外遭受人口販賣的大馬人擁有“回國的權利”,政府將盡一切努力營救並帶回他們。
大馬國際人道主義組織(MHO)對近2000名大馬人的情況表示擔憂,據稱他們是人口販運集團的受害者,自去年以來仍被困在鄰國。
賽夫丁呼籲那些從受害者家人或其他渠道獲得受害者信息的非政府組織,把有關信息提交給當局。他說,政府一旦接到投訴,將立即展開偵查和救援行動,並強調準確報告數字很重要。
‘Ada rakyat dihalang pulang ke Malaysia kerana hutang judi’
November 6, 2023 @ 11:38pm
KUALA LUMPUR: Polis Diraja Malayaia (PDRM) terpaksa membawa pulang sebilangan rakyat negara ini yang dihalang kembali ke tanah air kerana berjudi.
Golongan itu didapati berhutang dengan ceti haram atau along di luar negara dan perlu dianggap seolah-olah mangsa sindiket penipuan pekerjaan.
Menteri Dalam Negeri, Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, yang mendedahkan perkara itu berkata, ada juga segelintir warganegara ini yang tiada kaitan dengan penipuan pekerjaan di luar negara, namun tetapi perlu ‘diselamatkan’ dan dibawa pulang.
Jelasnya, kategori mangsa sindiket penipuan pekerjaan itu dibuat berdasarkan maklumat diperoleh PDRM menerusi profiling yang dijalankan hasil temubual bersama mangsa.
“Pertama, memang secara naifnya mereka terpengaruh tetapi mereka pergi juga, itu betul.
“Kedua, dari mula lagi mereka sudah tahu ini adalah scam (penipuan) tetapi masih nak cuba.
“Ketiga, mereka tidak ada kena mengena dengan scam pun, tetapi pergi secara sukarela kerana tujuannya nak berjudi di luar negara. Kalah pinjam along dan segala macam (berlaku) tak boleh balik (Malaysia). Mereka hubungi kedutaan kita, hubungi polis, kita masih pergi selamatkan.
“Kategori ketiga ini tidak ada kena mengena dengan scam tetapi kita selamatkan juga dalam misi seolah-olah mereka mangsa scam.
“Keempat adalah ada yang betul-betul menjadi mangsa. Kita selamatkan dan bawa pulang tapi ada juga yang pergi semula ke luar negara,” katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian ketika diwawancara dalam program Naratif Khas bertajuk ‘Pasca Belanjawan 2024: Memperkukuh Perpaduan dan Keselamatan Negara’ yang disiarkan secara langsung di TV1, malam ini.
Berdasarkan data diperoleh PDRM, Saifuddin Nasution berkata, antara modus operandi sindiket yang dikesan ialah mencari mangsa yang mudah terpedaya dengan tawaran gaji lumayan dan beberapa faedah lain apabila bekerja di luar negara.
Bagaimanapun, tegasnya, ia berubah apabila mangsa tiba di negara berkenaan dan mendapati apa yang dijanjikan tidak seindah seperti yang dikhabarkan.
“Penipuan atau scam pekerjaan ini misalnya, angka itu terus meningkat. Mereka ditawarkan pekerjaan dengan upah lumayan dan dibayar dalam dolar Amerika, bekerja di luar negara.
“Mereka diberikan tiket penerbangan, dijamin tempat tinggal dan diberi gambaran kerja yang mudah.
“Justeru, ada rakyat negara kita tertarik dan apabila mereka sampai, ceritanya tidak seindah khabar. Itu yang berlaku. Akibatnya mereka terperangkap dan hal itu diterima aduannya sama ada melalui keluarga atau pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO), disampaikan kepada pasukan polis.
“Kita uruskan operasi menyelamat sama ada melalui kerjasama, Wisma Putra dengan kedutaan negara berkenaan atau di peringkat ASEANAPOL atau polis antara polis. Kita guna semua ikhtiar,” katanya.
Beliau berkata, misi akhir ialah menyelamatkan mangsa berdasarkan ‘right to return (hak untuk pulang) dan tidak mengambil kira sama ada mereka terpedaya atau sebaliknya.
Apa yang penting, katanya, ialah membawa mereka pulang ke tanah air dan ia dikendalikan oleh pasukan PDRM mengikut Akta Antipemerdagangan Orang dan Antipenyeludupan Migran (ATIPSOM).
“Kita mempunyai pasukan petugas khusus untuk itu,” katanya.
[UPDATED] Cops rescuing M’sians abroad in debt due to gambling, borrowing from Ah Longs
Home minister notes these individuals are distinct from scam victims but are saved just the same

KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysian police have had to help bring home a number of citizens who have been prevented from returning to the country after losing in gambling or owing large sums to illegal moneylending gangs overseas.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail revealed that some of the people in this category of Malaysians who are in trouble overseas are hounded by “Ah Long” (illegal moneylenders) groups to whom they had been made to borrow from.
He said the government needs to accord assistance to them in a similar manner as the hundreds of victims of employment fraud syndicates who are trapped in neighbouring countries.
Most of these citizens have nothing to do with job scams abroad, but still need to be rescued and brought home, he said.
He explained that victims in this category are determined based on information obtained by police through profiling done from interviews.
He said they are mostly naively influenced to travel to the foreign country to engage in gambling activities and accumulate debts.
“From the beginning, they knew that it was a scam but still wanted to try (their luck),” he was quoted as saying by Berita Harian.
They voluntarily went abroad for the purpose of gambling. Upon losing, they were made to take loans from the Ah Longs.
They then got bound and faced various consequences that made it impossible for them to return to Malaysia.
“When they made contact with our embassy in the relevant country, and call police, we take action to rescue them.
“This category has nothing to do with scams, but we rescue them in our missions as if they are victims of scams,” he said.
Saifuddin added that yet another category of Malaysians who are trapped overseas are genuine victims who were deceived from the very start.
“Even though we save them and bring them home, some still venture abroad again,” he lamented.
He said this during an interview on national unity and security in relation to Budget 2024 on TV1 last night.
The rescue operations are managed through various measures, Saifuddin added. Wisma Putra usually solicits help from the embassy of the country concerned.
Malaysian police can also seek cooperation from police in that country.
Another course of action is for police to bring such cases to the Asean Chiefs of National Police (Aseanapol), which is focused on regional cooperation in preventing and combating transnational crime.
Saifuddin had said last Sunday that Malaysians who are victims of human trafficking abroad have the “right to return”, and that the government undertakes every possible effort to rescue and bring them back.
The Malaysia International Humanitarian Organisation (MHO) has expressed concern about nearly 2,000 Malaysians who are believed to have been victims of human trafficking syndicates and are still trapped in neighbouring countries since last year.
Its secretary-general Datuk Hishamuddin Hashim said the MHO has received complaints from numerous families asking for help to bring home their family members. He said that over 1,200 may be doing forced labour in Myanmar.
Saifuddin called on NGOs who have information on victims from their families or via other channels to bring these to the authorities’ attention.
He said the government will conduct detection and rescue operations as soon as complaints are received. He added that it is important to report the figures accurately.
