Titiwangsa MP Johari Ghani stressed that effective crime prevention required residents and community leaders to cooperate with the police. (Bernama pic)PETALING JAYA: Renting houses indiscriminately to undocumented migrants can lead to crime, including fights and gangsterism, says Titiwangsa MP Johari Ghani.
He said that, based on his experience, such problems are exacerbated when some homes are occupied by too many tenants, jeopardising local safety.
Johari cited a village in Kampung Pandan that had faced similar problems, disrupting public order.
“At one point, many foreigners (undocumented migrants) were living in houses rented out by owners who no longer lived in the area.
