About this statute

This Act sets up Malaysia’s anti-trafficking and migrant-smuggling framework, including the Minister’s commencement power, the Council’s functions, trafficking and smuggling offences, and carrier document duties. Owners, operators, or masters of commercial carriers must check that every passenger has valid travel documents and must refuse transport if they do not. The Minister may make regulations and later modify provisions for a limited period. Courts may order compensation or unpaid wages in trafficking cases, and a Protective Officer is treated as a public servant while performing duties.
