A total of 97 foreigners, comprising Malaysians, Indonesians, Indians, Thais and Bangladeshis, were checked, 10 of whom were issued special passes after failing to show valid documents.

They were seven Indonesians, two Thais and an Indian national. Another seven, including five Bangladeshis and two Indonesians, were detained for possessing expired passes and no valid documents.
