SEPANG, Selangor - After taxi touts, another form of touts is lurking at the country’s main airport, posing as immigration officers and making a quick buck by extorting money from unsuspecting first-time travellers from South Asia.
“The man told me that a stranger, who claimed to be an immigration officer, had taken RM300 from him. The man asked for my help to ask the individual why he had to pay the amount,” wrote the TikTok user, who wanted to be known only as Mr Khan. “Jangan kacau. Kita ambil RM200 to RM300 tak ada masalah. ,” Mr Khan said.When contacted by The Star, Mr Khan said he was at the airport to pick up his sister when he was approached by the Pakistani man. He later lodged a complaint with airport operator Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad .
An employee said: “Yes, there has always been a group of men sitting at the restaurant across our premises. We have noticed that almost daily, several groups of travellers would be stopped by the men. “Two to three of them would be stationed at the arrival hall, while another two to three at the food outlet.
“They would target Pakistanis or Bangladeshis who looked gullible and had arrived in Malaysia for the first time,” he said.Other social media users claimed they had encountered the same situation.
