15 FOREIGN WORKERS AT SEMPORNA RESORT DETAINED FOR INVESTIGATION

The 15 illegal foreign workers detained at a resort in Semporna yesterday, will be investigated for possible roles in the recent kidnapping of two women. The Singamata Adventures and Reef Resort employees who include five women, were nabbed for not possessing valid work permits and travel documents. Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said police are investigating to determine whether the resort workers had acted as agents for the gumen in last week's kidnapping of the Chinese tourist and Filipino worker. He added the Immigration Department would also be hauling up the employer of the resort for hiring the illegal immigrants. The victims, 29-year-old Gao Hua Yuan and Marcy Dayawan, 40, were abducted by a group of armed men from the Singamata Adventures and Reef Resort last Wednesday night. The Malaysian and Filipino authorities believe the two women may have been taken to the southern Philippines, either to the provinces of Tawi Tawi, Sulu or Basilan. - See more at: http://www.ntv7.com.my/7edition/local-en/15_FOREIGN_WORKERS_AT_SEMPORNA_RESORT_DETAINED_FOR_INVESTIGATION.html#sthash.fEIUmB6y.dpuf
