KUALA LUMPUR October 22, 2026 — The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) has crippled an organised crime group known as Geng Yunaa, which allegedly ran a prostitution and child trafficking syndicate in the Klang Valley, arresting seven suspects in a special operation codenamed Op Angel.
In a media statement issued on October 22, 2026, Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) director Commissioner of Police Datuk M. Kumar S. Muthuvelu said the operation was carried out by the Bukit Aman CID in collaboration with the Selangor Contingent CID from September 24 to 26, 2026.
He said the group had 10 members aged between 18 and 44, and was led by a 30-year-old local man. According to the statement, the syndicate had been active since early 2024 and was identified as being involved in 17 cases of prostitution and the trafficking of children for sexual exploitation.
The seven suspects arrested, aged between 18 and 44, are being held under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (SOSMA) until October 23, 2026. Two other members of the group are currently detained at Kajang Prison and Henry Gurney School in Melaka for child trafficking and prostitution offences. Police have also identified one more member who remains at large, and efforts to track down the suspect are ongoing.
During the operation, police seized items believed to be linked to the prostitution activities, including 14 mobile phones, 33 boxes of condoms of various brands, six boxes of contraceptive pills, towels and lubricant gel. Background checks found that several of those arrested had previous records for offences including prostitution, human trafficking, drug distribution and fraud.
Modus operandi
According to PDRM, Geng Yunaa recruited local teenagers, foreign nationals and underage children, who were exploited and forced into prostitution around Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. “This activity is deeply worrying because it not only trades in human beings for profit, but also exploits children who should be protected from abuse and sexual exploitation,” the statement said.
To attract customers, the group allegedly used a Telegram channel called “KLSELANGORFL” to promote its services, offering an estimated 20 to 30 prostitutes each day. Customers were charged between RM200 and RM350, depending on the package and location. Payments were believed to have been made in cash, via Touch ‘n Go or through banking QR codes to prostitution agents linked to the group.
Police believe the syndicate drew about 100 customers a day and collected RM150 from each, with the balance paid to the prostitutes. Based on these estimates, the group could generate RM15,000 a day or RM450,000 a month, equivalent to RM5.4 million a year if the activity continued at the same rate.
The statement warned that the sexual exploitation of underage children could leave lasting psychological trauma, damage the victims’ emotional, moral and social development, and jeopardise their future. It added that, if left unchecked, such activities could threaten security, public health, social well-being and the future of the nation’s young people.
Charges to be filed
Kumar said the arrests had enabled police to solve 17 cases and dismantle one organised crime group in the Selangor contingent. The investigation papers were presented to the Serious Crimes Unit of the Attorney-General’s Chambers, which agreed to charge the members under Section 130V(1) of the Penal Code for being a member of an organised criminal group. The offence carries a prison term of not less than five years and not more than 20 years.
Nine members of Geng Yunaa are scheduled to be charged at the Petaling Jaya Sessions Court, Selangor, on October 23, 2026.
“PDRM is committed to taking continuous action against any individual or group involved in organised crime to ensure the peace and well-being of Malaysian society are always safeguarded,” the statement said. PDRM also urged the public to keep cooperating by sharing information to help the authorities curb such crimes.
