Authorities detained 868 people, including 562 Indonesians, in the first three days of a crackdown on illegal foreign workers, a Malaysian newspaper reported.
They were among more than 11,000 migrants screened after a four-month amnesty ended, the Star said. About 450,000 illegal workers are believed to have left Malaysia during the amnesty period, with an estimated 400,000 remaining in the country.
