Immigration raiding party conducts an inspection on foreign workers at a squatter house in Anduki.
An adventurous Immigration raid involving trekking to the remote and dark areas of Anduki squatter houses to inspect foreign workers had led to the arrest of a 55-year-old Thai man who was apparently drunk and was unable to produce any form of identification.

The raid codenamed "Operasi Benteras 20" consisting of over 11 Immigration officers led by Chief Immigration Officer Sulaiman bin Hj Hidup had inspected over 65 foreign workers at the squatter houses in the deep jungle area of Anduki and Rasau, Kuala Belait. At one out of two squatter houses inspected in Anduki, two Thai men who appeared to be intoxicated by alcohol were initially caught as they were unable to produce their identification card.

However when they were brought to Immigration custody, one of the Thai men who had apparently sober up then remembered actually owning an identification card and was later released.

At a construction worker quarters in Rasau, no one was caught breaching the Immigration laws and was able to produce proper documents to prove their legal stay in the country.
