PUTRAJAYA: Two Bangladeshi men and their Malaysian wives have been arrested for allegedly operating a fraudulent outsourcing syndicate that made a profit of over RM2.04mil from the government’s Labour Recalibration Programme (RTK).

Immigration Department director-general Datuk Seri Khairul Dzaimee Daud said the four, as well as two other Bangladeshi men, were detained following raids at Jalan Lumut in Kuala Lumpur and Pandan Cahaya in Ampang, Selangor on Wednesday (June 8).
