The special operation named Ops Selat was a ‘sting operation’ that was conducted with the cooperation of the Immigration Department based on intelligence and six months’ surveillance at the country’s entry and exit points, especially at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), KLIA2 and Bangunan Sultan Ismail Johor Bahru.
