Activities

The Royal Malaysian police regularly conduct raids on brothels. Many of the brothels include women who are illegal immigrants who are kept against their will. Women who are clearly victims of trafficking are usually handed over to nongovernmental organizations. These NGOs work with the Malaysian government to look into prosecution of the traffickers, and have the victims repatriated without further victimization (for example, being placed in jail because they overstayed their visa or do not have identification documents).

The Criminal Investigation Department has also been involved in cracking down on vice.
