Abbe Hae and 15 others detained in Kota Bharu over foreign worker allegations

Social activist Abbe Hae, founder of Pertubuhan Jejak Jalanan, and 15 others were detained overnight at the Kota Bharu District Police Headquarters (IPD) after being called to provide statements. The detention follows a police report filed by three women regarding an incident where the group reportedly entered a shop to investigate the alleged employment of foreign workers.

Abbe Hae, whose real name is Mohamad Azhan Mohamed Adnan, expressed disappointment over the police procedures, noting that the group underwent identification parades and fingerprinting. He claimed to possess video footage from October 17 showing foreign nationals operating a shop counter, which he intends to review before deciding on potential legal action.

Other individuals detained alongside Abbe Hae included Dato Mizan from I Sejahtera Malaysia, Tengku Harith from Pasir Puteh funeral management, and Abe Aziz, the founder of the Manzilu Rahmah addiction recovery center. The group was released the following day.
