#TANAHMERAH, 25 OCTOBER 2026 – The Tanah Merah District Police Headquarters (IPD) in collaboration with the Immigration Department of Malaysia, the Land and District Office of Tanah Merah and the Tanah Merah District Council conducted an Integrated Operation for the Deterrence of Foreigners at the Sireh Plantation, Kampung Putat Batu 4 and Kampung Bechah Laut, Tanah Merah, today.
To ensure the smooth running of the operation, two (2) road blockades were implemented, while two (2) assault teams were deployed to the target locations to conduct coordinated checks and enforcement actions with the relevant agencies.
The operation, led by the Tanah Merah District Police Chief, YDH Supt Mohd Haki bin Hasbullah, was carried out following complaints and information received from the public regarding allegations of betel nut cultivation by foreigners in the area.
The operation team also found that the buildings in the area had been demolished before the arrival of the team. During the operation, the Tanah Merah District Council took action to install seizure ropes on two buildings and seized a building in Kampung Putat Batu 4. Meanwhile, the Land and District Office of Tanah Merah issued a notice of breach of land ownership conditions as the land in question was designated for rubber plantation use only, in line with the provisions of the National Land Code 1965 [Act 828].
The Tanah Merah IPD expresses its highest appreciation and gratitude to the concerned public and for providing information to the police. This cooperation is very important in helping the authorities conduct monitoring, law enforcement and follow-up actions to ensure safety, public peace and compliance with the law are always maintained.
The police also encourage the public to continue to be the eyes and ears of the authorities by providing any information related to illegal activities through official channels. The identity of the informants will be handled according to the procedures and provisions of the law in force.
The PDRM always emphasizes the aspects of safety and well-being of the public, especially in ensuring that every individual complies with the laws in force. Concerned members of the public are advised to always be aware of the regulations and to avoid engaging in any activities that may result in them being subject to legal action.
In the meantime, the police emphasize that every police report involving allegations of criminal offenses will be investigated and examined properly based on facts, evidence and the provisions of the law in force.
