The upcoming Lunar New Year celebrations gave reason for Immigration officers to mount anti-illegal worker operations over the past four days, from Jan 16 to yesterday (Jan 19).
A total of six suspected illegal workers, one employer and one overstayer were arrested during the operations which targeted 54 locations, including stalls at 10 LNT fairs.
