Human trafficking syndicates have remained unfazed in the face of heavy punishment as they can reap huge profits from the illegal trade.
It is learnt that they remain active in smuggling immigrants from across the Kelantan-Thailand border on a daily basis.
Sources said the syndicates charged a fee of between RM2,500 (S$824) and RM3,500 to smuggle in an immigrant from the neighbouring country.
They said the syndicates, whose members were Thais and Malaysians, had continued their activities despite strict enforcement.
