Like Mr Syamsul, Mr Jaspal ( not his real name ) was blacklisted from Malaysia under similar circumstances: Absconding from his first workplace whom he claims did not pay him his income.
For four years, the 32-year-old- who hails from Punjab in northeastern India- was working without right paperwork, doing different informal jobs for an employer who was in the agrarian business in the town of Rawang, Selangor.
While the minimum pay in Malaysia is fixed at RM1, 500 ( US$ 342 ) per month, Mr Jaspal said that in some good months he can earn up to RM2, 500 monthly, depending on commissions.
He used the emigration department’s relocation program in 2022 to avoid returning home because he had missed work and had to pay a fine of RM500.
Mr. Jaspal claimed to try to work in India, but it was only a fraction for someone without any formal education. His time in Malaysia, where he could make five days as many as he could in the same work, was a far cry.
” I thought I had no choice but to go home,” he said. He continued, adding that he had previously secured employment with his former employer prior to his return, “it really was n’t an easy decision to come here again.”
Mr. Jaspal entered Malaysia in 2023 after being blacklisted from entering the country. He had previously booked a trip to Bangkok, Thailand, before taking a bus to fraudulently area in Malaysia.  ,
He paid about RM4, 000 to an adviser.
Mr. Jaspal admitted that he did not hear the bus’s way, but that he did enter Malaysia without having his passport stamped. He added that he was riding the bus the entire time and did not have to cross any immigration land crossings.
It took roughly 20 hours to travel to the border with some immigrants from India as well as those from different nations.  ,
He is aware of another immigrant people who have entered Malaysia through crossing streams.  ,
The federal government was informed on November 5 that the state government of Kelantan may consider the structure of a 100-kilometer wall along the Malaysia-Thailand border.
Saifuddin Nasution, the home secretary, claimed the wall was still in the development stage about a week later. However, it has been reported that Thailand has consented to the construction of the frontier crossing along the Golok River.  ,
Malaysia’s Inspector-General of Police , Razarudin Husain was reported as saying by Bernama that a roof would enable the government corner cross-border unlawful activities.  ,
In the interim, it is unknown whether Thai and Malaysian leaders were paid to enter the country safely after Mr. Jaspal was smuggled into Malaysia.
However, a report released by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime earlier in March on immigrant trafficking in Southeast Asia claimed that for corrupt practices are prevalent both in the area and elsewhere in the world.
Mr. Jaspal, who is now a lorry drivers in Kuala Lumpur, claims that many of his friends have been detained at different immigration department detention facilities and has heard horrifying tales of abuse there.  ,  ,  ,
Mr. Jaspal said he makes a silent appeal to God that he avoids the regulators each morning before going off to work.
He claims that in order to avoid being imprisoned, he has offered money when he has been stopped by law protection.  ,
Due to the immigration department’s latest extensive raids against illegal immigrants, Mr. Jaspal added that his drives are now limited to areas close by.
” I have learned to become more careful and alert of my area. If I have a choice, I would still like to go home and be with my family, but it just is n’t possible at the moment. Mr. Jaspal, who wants to get married and sit down one evening, said,” I can just take it one time at a time.”
