ARRANGEMENTS are underway to send home six Malaysians who overstayed their tourist visas and were working illegally in Western Australia, immigration minister Brendan O'Connor says.
They were found on yesterday at a house in Australind, 160km south of Perth, following information provided by the community and investigation by local police.
On Wednesday, Mr O'Connor said the Malaysians - five men and one woman - were taken to Perth Immigration Detention Centre, where they would remain while arrangements were finalised to return them home.
``They cooperated fully when our compliance officers moved in,'' Mr O'Connor said.
They had been working illegally in the agriculture industry and investigations into the circumstances of their employment continue, he said.
Under Commonwealth legislation, people convicted of employing illegal workers face fines of up to $20,400 and two years' imprisonment while companies face fines of up to $102,000 per illegal worker.
Sesiapa yang ingin bekerja di sini, harap gunalah saluran dan visa yang betul.

DeleteKak umi.. Saya pun risau bila baca cerita ni. Ramai org kita yang datang ke sini pakai visa pelancong n bekerja lepas tu xnk balik. Ada jugak yg kene tipu xtau kata visa pelancong n visa bkerja tu lain2. Sedih sgt..
ReplyDeleteBetul tu. Sebab tu kena pastikan visa subclass yang betul sebab visa pelancong tak boleh bekerja. Kalau jadi apa2 kan susah sbb ni negara orang.

ReplyDeleteOnly if you are granted a visa that comes with the permission to work eg. student's visa (less than 20 hr/week), postgraduate visa (unlimited hours), working holiday visa, temporary visa (for skilled workers only)
