Malaysian authorities have announced that they dismantled a network involved in trafficking foreign children. The network was forcing 17 Jordanian minors to beg in tourist areas of Phuket, Penang, and Chao Khie. Additionally, 15 adults, including Jordanian nationals, were arrested. The campaign resulted in the rescue of children aged between three months and 14 years. Investigations revealed that the gang was earning between 500 and 1,000 ringgit daily by exploiting children for begging.
