KL immigration is running a big sweep around Kota Raya and the Petaling Street area right now, and plenty of people have already been hauled in by enforcement officers. The streets feel noticeably quieter than usual, with fewer bikes and pedestrians passing through.
Word from the ground is that the operation is still ongoing. If you don't have anything urgent to take care of today, it's best to steer clear of Kota Raya and the surrounding alleys just to avoid getting caught up in roadblocks and wasting your time.
If you have to be out and about in that area, check the situation before you head out. Make sure you keep your documents on you at all times, stay safe, and avoid crowded spots.
